The objects of the Company also provide powers to erect and operate community sports centres, swimming pools, sports pavilions, changing accommodation, children's playgrounds and any other sports and recreational, community or leisure facilities throughout Perth and Kinross and to co-operate with and assist persons or organisations involved in the provision of such facilities.

It also supports Tayside and Fife Institute of Sport and Tayside Sports Development Group.

WHO CAN APPLY?

This scheme is only open to village halls.

WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE ELIGIBLE

Under the scheme, financial assistance is awarded towards the cost of providing a facility, extending a facility, for major repair costs.

The level of assistance awarded is normally a maximum of 50% of the project costs, although in exceptional circumstances, discretion is available to increase this level.

It is anticipated that applicant organisations will contribute 50% of the costs involved although this could reduce to 25% if another funding source is secured.
