Barcelona City Council

Assistance for families with children and teenagers aged 6 to 17, both ages included (except for adolescents with an intellectual disability, where the age range extends to 19), who:

• Practise sports outside school time in organisers approved by the Barcelona Institute of Sports.
• Engage in cultural, artistic, scientific and technological activities outside school time with organisers authorised by the Directorate of Education.

The aim of the subsidies is to promote the practice of these activities among children and teenagers from low-income families, ensuring that no child is excluded from engaging in sports or cultural activities for financial reasons.

The subsidy is aimed at family units with incomes equal to or under 10,000 euros per year for each family unit member.

Income per family member is calculated on the annual income declared by the whole family, divided by the total number of members, bearing in mind that an extra family member is added in the following cases:

• When a family member has a disability of at least 33%, that has been officially recognised by the Government of Catalonia.
• When the family is officially recognised as a single-parent family by the Government of Catalonia.

Either way, applicants accrediting the lowest incomes in each section will get priority.

The range of activities may be consulted at the website:

• Sport
• Cultural, artistic, scientific and technological

Application submission deadline: from September 14 to October 6
