In order to facilitate access to sports and physical activities for the city's children and young people aged between 6 and 17, outside school hours, Barcelona City Council offers a system of grants for families, which are adjudicated according to the level of available income per member of each family household.

Further information

Under exceptional circumstances, young people up to the age of 19 who have a certificate of disability and children who do not live in Barcelona but go to school in the city, due to special educational needs, are included.

Barcelona City Council wishes to ensure the participation of children living in the city, aged from 1 to 17, in leisure-sports activities during the summer holidays, regardless of the economic capacity of their families or their physical, psychological or sensory condition.

The income sufficiency indicator (IRS in Catalan) is used to indicate the percentage for calculating each of the grants (30%, 60% or 90% of the total cost of the activity).

More information 

All activities approved within the sports campaign must guarantee the full and inclusive participation of all children and adolescents. In cases where a child or adolescent has intensive support needs, the organisation may request a subsidy from the Institut Barcelona Esports for support staff services.

The support staff service is aimed at approved organisations in which children and adolescents with disabilities participate and require a support person to ensure that the sports activity is inclusive in nature.

During the holiday period, applications are made as part of the summer activity campaign.
