It is a Grant Application Writing workshop, on Thursday 10th February 2022 from 7pm-9pm. delivered by John Warren of JE Warren Consulting. However, the response has been so huge that our first workshop is now fully booked up. So we have decided to run another Grant Application Writing workshop, on Thursday 3rd March 2022 from 7pm-9pm. To book you place for this workshop please visithttps://www.eventbrite.ie/e/grant-application-writing-workshop-tickets-255239136127 Below are the objectives that can be achieved by attending this one evening course: • Understand the components of a grant opportunity and to recognise if a grant opportunity is suitable for your group. • Develop the attitude and skills needed to write competitive grant proposals successfully. • How to manage the challenges of writing a successful grant application. • Gain competence in writing typical grant components, including a statement of need, implementation strategies, monitoring & evaluation, classify outcomes & impact, budget attachments, and an executive summary.

The 2022 National Grant Scheme aims to assist in the implementation of locally developed, well planned initiatives designed to increase participation in recreational sport and physical activity by older people. These grants are available to all eligible local clubs, groups and organisations that promote increased participation in recreational sport or physical activity for older people as a main element of their activities. Funds permitting, grants awarded will be between €300 and €700 and may be allocated towards the cost of the eligible initiatives outlined on the grant form. We recognise the impact that Covid 19 has had on older peoples’ participation in sport and physical activity over the last 2 years. Therefore, within this 2022 Grant there are specific allocations aimed at encouraging older people back to sport and physical activity and their clubs. The same impact has been felt by those in care settings (both residential and day care settings) around the country so we are opening up the grant this year to both public and private nursing homes and day care centres.
