Leisure activity grants - Frístundastyrkur

The parent/parents/guardians who have the same domicile as the child can allocate the grant. If the parents do not live together, the parent that does not have the same domicile as the child can allocate the grant provided that the sports association/leisure time association has created the other parent as a guardian in the system.

In addition, the leisure time association can create other close relatives, such as grandparents as guardians/payers of training fees in the Nóri registration system. The permission of the current guardian is required to register a new guardian.

Registrations for courses can be through the residents’ portal or the website/leisure activity grant site of the club/company where the child participates in his/her leisure time activities.
