\u201cSport plays a vital role in bringing the Swansea community together.  
   
These grants will help our local clubs buy vital equipment and resources to enable more Swansea residents to participate in sport.  
   
I congratulate local sports organisations that were successful in securing funding and thank all the volunteers and clubs for the work they do in supporting the community.\u201d  
   
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said:  
 
\u201cThe Minns Labor Government is backing, communities and organisations across NSW to enjoy the benefits of sport and active recreation.  
   
The Local Sport Grant Program provides vital funds to community sporting organisations to invest in minor facility upgrades, new equipment and programs.   
   
With tight budgets and clubs ever more reliant on volunteers, this funding gives teams resources to invest where they need, be it purchasing new jerseys or hosting local events like come and try days.   
   
I congratulate the more than 500 sports organisations across NSW that were successful in securing funding and commend them for their commitment to our collective health, wellbeing and sense of identity.\u201d
