Helping our Communities Sport’s Clubs to Survive and Thrive
Member for Eltham, Vicki Ward today announced twenty-four grants of $1,000 have been approved in the electorate so far from the Government’s Community Sport Sector COVID-19 Survival Package.

These grants from the Labor Government’s $40 million community support package will make it that little bit easier for clubs to support players and volunteers as Victorians start to train and compete together again.
Sport and active recreation clubs and associations have been hit hard by the coronavirus shutdown and these grants form a key part of the government’s investment n supporting the community during these challenging times.
Vicki congratulates the successful clubs and looks forward to seeing them return to play.
