Eligible activities and beneficiaries

Families registered in the municipality with children and adolescents between 3 and 17 years old may apply for the grants. The covered activities are:

• Sports activities in sports entities within the municipality.
• Extracurricular activities of a sporting nature organized by the municipality’s AMPAs (Parents’ Associations).
• Sports activities outside the municipality, exclusively for families with children with special educational needs.

The requirements that applicant families must meet are:

• Both parents and children must be registered in Santa Margarida de Montbui.
• Not to be the owner or co-owner of more than one home.
• Not to receive any other grant from other public administrations that fully covers the cost of the activity.

Income threshold and family calculation

The monthly net per capita income limit is set at 1,479.13 euros, the result of multiplying by 1.9 the sufficiency income indicator of Catalonia, fixed at 778.49 euros per month. To establish the limits according to the household composition, the bases apply the following formula:

• For each additional adult in the household: +0.5 IRSC (377.91 euros).
• For each additional minor in the household: +0.3 IRSC (226.75 euros).

This indicator, established by Law 13/2006, of July 27, on social benefits of an economic nature, serves to assess the situation of need of family and cohabitation units.

Twenty calendar days to submit applications

The deadline for submitting applications is twenty calendar days counting from the day after the publication of the call summary in the BOPB. Applications can be delivered to the General Registry of the City Council, located at Ctra. de Valls, 57, Santa Margarida de Montbui, or electronically through the municipal electronic office.

With these grants, the council aims to ensure that no child or adolescent in the municipality is left out of sports practice for economic reasons, thus reinforcing sport as a tool for cohesion and the prevention of social exclusion.
