PROJECTS in Wales have secured £2.35m from Sport Wales to boost sports participation in Wales.

Girl Guiding Cymru, Street Football Wales, StreetGames Wales, Welsh Cycling and Time to Change Wales have all secured funding.

Last year, as part of the community legacy of the Commonwealth Games, Sport Wales launched a Calls4Action grant scheme at tackling inequalities in sport participation in Wales.

Individuals, groups and organisations were invited to bid for a share of the £3m of National of Lottery Funding.

The remit was to take positive action to encourage more young women and girls to play sport, as well as more people with disabilities, more children from deprived communities and from BME backgrounds.
