The Council is offering grants to local sports groups as part of its new Fit Club Scheme.
The aim of Fit Club is to encourage people to participate in sport and physical activities taking place in their communities, especially those who do not currently exercise.
Grants will be awarded to sports clubs and groups who want to develop new activities for over 45s, women and girls, families and anyone new to sport.
Funding will also be available to clubs that want to increase the number of trained coaches and volunteers they have.
The Fit Club project will run until March 2011, and grants will be awarded via a tender process.
The closing date for applications is 31 March 2010.
