Roda de Berà: 200 euro grants for sports and seniors

The Roda de Berà City Council has approved the 2026 call for individual grants to promote the health of elderly people through sports practice, with a budget of 4,000 euros and a maximum of 200 euros per beneficiary. The resolution, signed by Mayor Pere Virgili Domínguez and acting secretary Cristina Altés Juárez on November 5, 2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Tarragona on November 13, 2026, with the official reference CVE 2026-10607. The application process opens the day after publication and closes after 20 business days.

The call stems from the extended budget for the 2026 financial year, which already provided for this line of individual grants, and has the favorable report of the acting secretary issued on October 26, 2026. The municipal treasury has allocated the expenditure to budget application 13/920/48008, for a total amount of 4,000.00 euros. The call is processed under a non-competitive concurrence regime, in accordance with article 22.2.c) of Law 38/2003, of November 17, General Law on Subsidies, and is registered in the National Subsidies Database with the code BDNS 940841 and the call reference 7261/2026.

The regulatory bases for this line were initially approved in the BOPT with the reference CVE 2022-12784, of January 4, 2023, and the full text was published with the reference CVE 2023-01606, of March 8, 2023. They can also be consulted on the municipal website, www.rodadebera.cat.

What the grants cover and the amount

The subsidy covers 100% of the accredited expenditure for eligible sports practice, with a limit of 200 euros per person per call. The activities that can be justified are those carried out between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, i.e., the sports expenditure of the year prior to the call.

In exceptional cases where activities practiced in spaces located outside the municipality are eligible, the grant is limited to 50% of the amount. If the number of requests and the amount requested exceed the total allocation, the assignment to each request will be reduced by the proportional part necessary to meet all requests that fulfill the requirements.

Requirements for access and calendar

To apply for the grant, the following conditions must be met:

• Be registered as a resident of Roda de Berà for a minimum of twelve months prior to the publication date of the call.
• Be over 65 years of age or reach this age during the subsidized period, or suffer from a physical, psychic, or sensory impairment that advises sporting activity for therapeutic purposes by medical prescription.
• Be up to date with tax obligations to the Roda de Berà City Council and not be subject to any public subsidy reimbursement procedure or any sanctioning proceedings for this reason.

The submission period is 20 business days starting from the day after the publication of the call in the BOPT. The council will disseminate the deadlines via the corporate website, municipal radio, and social networks, as well as in person at the town hall, the entities’ hotel, and the job bank.

Processing, resolution and payment

The instruction of the procedure corresponds to the municipal secretariat and the resolution to the mayor’s office. Once the application is registered, compliance with the requirements will be verified; if the documentation is incomplete, the interested person will have ten business days to correct it, otherwise, it will be understood that they withdraw. Applications will be resolved in chronological order of submission, following examination by the evaluation commission.

The maximum period to resolve and notify is two months from the last day of submission and, if there is no resolution within this period, silence shall have dismissive effects. Notification will be made preferably by electronic means within a maximum period of ten days, and the beneficiary must sign a written acceptance within ten business days of the notification.

Payment will be made in a single act, once the justification has been validated and the subsidy accepted, without any advance payment. The grants will be published on the municipal electronic board, the website, and the BDNS, and those exceeding 3,000 euros also in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya. An optional appeal for reversal may be filed against the resolution within one month.

The aid arrives at a time when the extended municipal budget maintains the sports line for the elderly, so that people over 65 registered in the municipality can recover up to 200 euros of sports expenses for 2025, including the practice of therapeutically prescribed activities.
