Activity Grant

What is the Halberg Trust Activity Fund?

The Halberg Trust Activity Fund provides grants to enable young people with a disability to participate in inclusive sport and active leisure within their community. The main goal is to support activities that are regular, ongoing, build skills and confidence, remove barriers and are fun! The Activity Fund is one example of the Trust's commitment to getting more people with a disability, the opportunity to be more active, more often.

What can you apply for?

The Activity Fund is available to support the addtional costs associated with having a disability, that is the cost over and above what a non-disabled child or their parents would be reasonably expected to pay. 

An application can be made to support physical activities or equipment. For example, swimming lessons, adapted specialist equipment.

How to apply

Contact you Sport Opportunity Advisor (Marguerite Christophers) who will provide you with an application form, application process and criteria. The local Sport Opportunity Advisor must support an application before it is submitted to the Halberg Trust. The grants committee considers applications each month.

Who can apply?

Any young person living with a disability who meets the criteria. An organisation or advocate acting on their behalf, for example parents, teachers, coaches, schools or sports clubs.

What is not eligible?

Halberg Trust does not provide funding for the following:

• Any activity that does not have the philosophy of ordinary people doing ordinary things in ordinary places.
• Programmes or activities that are performed in separate environments that do not have a clear pathway to inclusion.
