Almost $70,000 injected into Queensland Junior Sports
Media statement
Brisbane, Australia
Junior Sports organisations across regional Queensland will benefit from almost $70,000 in collective funding thanks to Glencore’s Junior Sports Development Program grants.
The program, which offers grants of up to $7,500, has seen 14 groups benefit from this round of funding.
Glencore’s Community Relations Manager, Craig Strudwick said the grants will be used to contribute towards projects ranging from medical response vehicles to upgrades in equipment.
“We aim to assist clubs in building their capacity to cater for junior participation,” Mr Strudwick said.
“Through equipment and training we provide opportunities to young people across regional Queensland to become involved or stay involved in sport.”
Clermont Junior Motorcycle Club has been allocated $7,500 to purchase a first responder vehicle.
According to Treasurer, Glenda Brooks, securing such an important safety vehicle wouldn’t have been possible without the grant.
“Securing the Junior Sports Development grant has meant our club is able to purchase a first response vehicle to be utilised at practice and competition events,” Mrs Brooks said.
“This vehicle is going to assist our volunteer officials attending to any rider or track volunteer in a timely manner. A first response vehicle has been on the wish list for our club for several years.
“This vehicle will put our small club in a higher stead when applying to host events in the future. By having a first response vehicle it will demonstrate that we take the safety of our competitors and volunteers extremely serious.
“Without the support of Glencore, our small club would not be able to afford to improve our facilities.”
Wandoan junior Rugby League Football Association has also benefited from the grants, building a shade structure for their barbecue, Taroom & District Pony Club will upgrade equipment, Mirani State School will purchase new netball uniforms and Rolleston State School is investing in discus and shot-put equipment.
Since its inception in 2012, the Junior Sports Development Program has delivered more than $2 million in funding to New South Wales and Queensland based clubs.
The next round of GCAA Junior Sports Development Grants will be held in March 2022.
