Funded by the Queensland Government and delivered by CQUniversity, the 10,000 Steps program ran two rounds of community grants in 2017 and 2018 to support Queensland organisations to promote physical activity within their local communities through the implementation of established 10,000 Steps strategies. The 10,000 Steps team provided resources to assist the community organisations to implement their strategies and supported them along the way.
2017 Community Grants
In 2017, the 10,000 Steps team awarded grants to nine Queensland organisations, spanning eight council areas in regional Queensland. These organizations aimed to promote, encourage, and support the health and activity of their community members and visitors. The funded strategies included four community-wide 10,000 Steps Tournaments and the update or installation of 10,000 Steps Walkway Signage across five regions.
