We are proud to support residents returning to play their sport of choice.

Many community members have felt the impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19). To support those financially impacted we have partnered with Bendigo Bank to provide funding to help local families return to sport in Manningham. The initiative will subsidise up to 50% of eligible participants’ annual sport and recreation club fees.

Sport and recreation clubs provide an invaluable service to the Manningham community. As we head towards winter we want to ensure that kids and adults have the opportunity to get involved with their sport of choice and to experience the physical, mental and social benefits that sport and recreation provide.
