Steven Matthews TD has welcomed significant funding for Wicklow clubs for sports equipment under the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme ‘Wicklow clubs have done quite well this year’ said Deputy Matthews ‘I was delighted to see over €460,000 going to a wide range of clubs for all types of equipment which will be of practical benefit to these organisations, their members and athletes. I know well how these clubs operate on very tight budgets and they make absolutely every penny count when running their clubs so these grants for equipment are always important. This funding is for sports equipment and I expect that the larger funding for capital projects will made in the coming weeks’ said Matthews.
‘The Wicklow clubs that were successful this year for equipment includes Blessington, Greystones and Bray Sailing Clubs, Bray and Vartry Rowing Club, Bray Sea Scouts, Kilcoole Athletic Club, Wicklow Archers Club and Wicklow Basketball Club and Wicklow Pony Club’
‘I regularly visit sports clubs all across this county and I am always impressed by the members and volunteers that give so much of their time because of their love for their sport. I always try to assist with funding applications, letting them know when funding applications are due and assisting with sometimes complicated applications processes. Its fantastic to see when these clubs are successful in an application. If any clubs across the county were unsuccessful this time or would like assistance with the many various funding schemes, I am always happy to meet, learn about their work and assist with an application’ concluded Deputy Matthews.
