A host of community clubs have received a funding boost, to help Sunshine Coast residents lead active lifestyles.

Sixteen clubs were granted $2000 each through the Round 2 of the State Government’s Active Clubs Program.

State Member for Maroochydore, Fiona Simpson, said she was delighted for the clubs.

“It is great to see local clubs receive this funding boost,” she said.
