CLUBS and organisations in Torfaen have the chance to get their hands on up to £1000.

Projects which support new or improved sport and physical activity opportunities can apply for money from the Sports Council for Wales' Community Chest initative.

The grant would be for an activity that is additional to what is already in place and would not be able to happen without a grant.

Examples include training, coach education and development, new club or team start up costs, and developing new competitive opportunities or structures.

Contact local grants officer Christine Philpott on 01633 628936.

The deadline for applications in May 12.
