State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced on Friday, February 20 that Sport Inclusion Australia in Benalla would receive funding through the Victorian Government’s Regional All Abilities Participation Grants.
This funding stream is set to strengthen and expand opportunities for people with disability on and off the sporting field.
The group will use the $25,000 for its Empowering Inclusion Through Strengthening Eligibility Support program.
“We’re delighted to support more programs that open up more all-abilities opportunities for Victorians — as instructors, coaches, volunteers or administrators,” Ms Symes said.
“This initiative creates inclusive spaces where people with disability can not only participate — but kick-start new opportunities to learn and excel in a range of roles in the sports they love.”
