79 Age and Opportunity groups in Galway are to receive grants to fund physical activity for older people

The groups will share just over 23 thousand euro to support diverse activities such as pickleball, kurling, tai chi and aqua aerobics

The Scheme is a combined initiative from Age & Opportunity and Sport Ireland with funding provided by the Government of Ireland.

The national fund is €300,000 and distributed to groups ranging from Active Retirement Groups, ICAs, Men’s/Women’s Sheds, Physical Activity Leaders, care settings and other sports and social groups.
