More and more children are participating thanks to the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture
Last year, the 's-Hertogenbosch-Vught Youth Fund for Sports and Culture once again covered the membership fees and tuition for more children participating in sports and cultural activities. In 2024, a whopping 1,473 applications were approved, compared to 1,268 in 2023. This represents an increase of over 151%.
If parents lack financial resources, the Youth Fund, for children under 18 living in the municipalities of 's-Hertogenbosch and Vught, can pay the membership fee. This way, we can ensure that all children can participate.
Participating in sports and cultural activities is incredibly important. Not just for the child and their parents, but for society as a whole. Participating in sports and cultural activities is enjoyable and healthy, but also incredibly important for a child's overall development. A child who can't participate immediately falls behind their peers. Participation should simply be possible!
Fun facts
Children aged 5, 6, or 7 usually take swimming lessons. Boys aged 10, 11, and 12, on the other hand, often join a football club. Taking dance lessons is the most requested cultural activity at the Youth Fund Sport & Culture, and learning to kickbox is trendy. Did you know, by the way, that more boys than girls participate in sports?
