These specific grants will assist sports clubs and Governing Bodies of Sport to purchase crucial equipment necessary for the growth of their sport and it is expected that the allocation of grants for capital projects under the Programme will be announced towards the end of the year.
Priority in this tranche of funding was given to projects that will increase participation, that are located in areas with higher levels of socio-economic disadvantage and to organisations that did not receive significant funding under the Programme previously.
