Two nursing homes in Kilkenny - Aperee Living, Callan and Archersrath Nursing Home - have received grants for promotion of physical activity amongst older people.
The Age & Opportunity Active National Grant Scheme, a combined initiative with Sport Ireland, has distributed €66,010 to 94 nursing homes and day centres nationwide.
The scheme was launched in September 2022 and is open to all nursing homes and day care settings who aim to increase levels and frequency of participation in physical activity, of those in care.
The grant also supports the work of CarePALs.
These are staff and volunteers from care settings who have undertaken the Age & Opportunity Active CarePALs course, which empowers them to lead suitable physical activity sessions with those who live or visit their setting.
The Grant Scheme is part of Age & Opportunity’s Active programme, funded by Sport Ireland, and delivered nationwide with the support of Local Sports Partnerships and the HSE.
