£20k pledged for sporting activities
TWENTY thousand pounds has been pledged for sporting activities for young and old in Lancaster and the surrounding areas.
The cash injection is part of £60,000 donated by North Lancashire Teaching Primary Care Trust to celebrate their 60th birthday.
The funding is matching investment from Sport England which is the body which carried out the survey which revealed that only 21% of people in the Lancaster district do the recommended amount of physical activity.
The money will be invested in supporting a range of fun and innovative projects for young and old that are already up and running in the area.
Some of the funding will go to support Lancaster City Council's new community activity programme, a project which will enable local residents to sample activities which take their fancy through a range of subsidised taster courses.
Other investment will support a partnership with Lancaster-based Ludus Dance to provide dance classes aimed at helping young women in Morecambe's West End achieve their targets for physical activity.
