VICHEALTH has announced over two hundred and twenty sports clubs across the state will benefit from their latest round of funding, including three local clubs.

Over $750,000 is to be shared amongst the successful Active Club Grant applicants including Creswick Football/Netball Club who have received $3000 to increase female participation.

Ballarat Basketball Association has been given $10,000, and Webbcona Bowls Club has received $3000, both to increase social and modified sport.
