The investment will support the development of sports and outdoor facilities such as playgrounds, astro-turf pitches, running tracks and spectator stands.
Community Centres and Local Halls will also be upgraded and given a new lease life as part of the initiative.
There is a big focus too on supporting Schools by investing in play areas for our children.
There is also significant funding to develop our green spaces, sensory gardens and biodiversity areas, with funding also going to a number of our Tidy Towns groups.
