Leisure grants equalise children's opportunities for leisure activities.<\/strong>
Many local authorities support children's leisure activities with so-called leisure grants, which is usually a set annual sum of money allocated to each child to subsidise their leisure activities. Research shows that participation in leisure activities has an impact on the well-being of children and adolescents, and the preventative value of such activities has also been demonstrated, so it is in society's interest that children have access to them. Leisure activities, whether sports, music lessons or otherwise, serve both as entertainment for children and young people and have educational and preventative value. Hobbies can be expensive, and families are in different positions to afford them. The grants help ensure that children can take part in hobbies regardless of their economic and social circumstances, equalising opportunities for children to engage in such activities.<\/p>\n

The comparison covers the 16 largest municipalities in the country.<\/p>\n
