This grant supports the establishment or continuation of local leisure funds (fritidskasse) to cover costs associated with participation in leisure activities for children and youth at risk of social exclusion. The funds can be used to cover equipment, travel to leisure activities, and expenses related to camps or competitions. Examples include travel expenses for weekly leisure activities, participation in football tournaments, band gatherings, and equipment such as shoes, uniforms, skis, balls, skates, instruments, or similar. Municipalities can additionally cover participation fees for regular, organized leisure activities. The leisure fund must be organized in collaboration between the municipality and voluntary organizations, and should be structured so that the target group does not experience stigma when using it. The program aims to increase participation in leisure activities for children and youth aged 0-24 who face risks of social exclusion due to factors such as low family income, limited social networks, lack of connection to school or work, or limited participation in leisure activities.
