Tilskudd til utstyrssentral

This grant supports the establishment or development of equipment lending centers (utstyrssentraler) that provide free or low-cost access to equipment for leisure activities. The primary goal is to reduce economic barriers to participation in recreational activities for children and youth at risk of social exclusion. Equipment centers can lend sports equipment, musical instruments, or audio/video equipment, and can be organized and operated by municipalities, organizations, or associations. The grant covers equipment purchases and/or costs related to facilities, maintenance, or administration of lending operations, including staff salaries. The main purpose is to mitigate the consequences of growing up in low-income families by providing the target group with free or very low-cost equipment rental.
