RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES PROGRAM (RAP)

The Recreational Activities Program provides opportunities for children and young people with a disability, and their siblings, to participate in activities that would otherwise be unavailable to them. 

Activities funded through this program are aimed at building self confidence as well as assisting in relationship building and interaction with other children.            

The program assists with activity fees, instruments, consumables and other costs and is possible through the support of the Canberra Ginninderra Lions Club and the ACT Government’s Health Promotion Grants Program.     

Congratulations to the 20 families whose application’s were recently approved under the latest round of RAP funding. It Was great to see a diverse range of activities being sought after by families and even better to be able to fund most activities either fully or partially. Some of the activities funded under the latest round include:

· Archery

· Horse Riding Classes

· Intensive School Holiday swimming classes

· Academy of Interactive Entertainment Workshop

· School Holiday Program Activities

· Music Rock School

· Ten Pin Bowling

· Gymnastics

The next round of RAP Funding will open in June 2010.For more information please contact Tandem (02) 6288 0955.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the Canberra- Ginninderra Lions Club and the ACT Government’s Health Promotions Grants Program.
