The Groningen Youth Fund for Sports and Culture enables children and young people from low-income families to participate in sports and cultural activities. We cover the membership fees/tuition and any necessary equipment. Participating in sports and cultural activities helps children develop optimally physically, mentally, socially, and creatively. This is important for the child's development and future, but also for the family and ultimately for society as a whole. By 2024, we will have enabled nearly 4,000 children and young people to participate in sports and cultural activities.

Last Sunday, we invited our contacts from municipalities and the province to a wonderful and inspiring program in collaboration with Nova Tech Lycurgus.
A meeting where we updated aldermen and policy officers on developments at the Youth Fund, followed by an interesting and highly energetic lecture by Prof. Erik Scherder. He explained why exercise and music are so incredibly important and essential for brain development.
An afternoon that also provided great visibility for the Youth Fund, both on and off the field. Player Stijn van Schie shared on social media why sports (and volleyball in particular) are so important and what they've brought him. And where over 300 children from the municipalities of Eemsdelta, Veendam, Pekela, and Westerwolde were invited by Lycurgus and the Youth Fund to enjoy a top-notch match in a wonderful atmosphere. And all the children were even allowed onto the field to dance during the break!
We ended the afternoon with a great match and victory for Lycurgus, the number 1 in the premier league, over Numidia VC Limax.
