1509 applications in the first half year.

In the first half of 2025, 1,509 applications were approved in our province for children and young people who want to participate in sports or culture.
In the same period last year, the number of applications reached 1,271—an increase of 238. A welcome development in both reach and awareness. 🙌
Behind every number lies a story. A child who can now dance, play soccer, or make music. But also a family with insufficient funds to cover these costs themselves. In an ideal world, this fund wouldn't be necessary. But as long as financial barriers prevent participation, we will continue to work to create opportunities. Participation isn't a luxury—it's vital for development, self-esteem, and enjoyment.
