Northern Ireland Sailing Clubs Called for Submissions for New Sports Sustainability Fund
RYANI is encouraging sailing clubs across Northern Ireland to prepare for a joint application to the newly announced Sport NI Sports Sustainability Fund.
Northern Ireland Communities Minister Carál Ní Chuilín launched the £25 million fund for Governing Bodies and affiliated clubs on Friday 4 December.
The fund is intended to address the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic which has affected the sports sector, helping to minimise financial stress and sustain clubs.
Sport NI requires ‘consolidated’ submissions to be made, which means one submission per recognised sport.
To this end, RYANI is calking for all affiliated clubs to provide the relevant information as specified by Sport NI and within the given timeframes.
Correspondence has been sent to clubs asking those intending to submit an application to complete and return an expression of interest form by this Tuesday 15 December.
RYANI chief operating officer Richard Honeyford said: “We welcome the announcement that the sports sector will be receiving further support.
“We are looking to establish points of contact so we can advise of the process or the administration of this fund.
“Clubs should ensure they read the relevant Sport NI guidance and start to collate the necessary information requested in preparation for submission.”
Further details and links can be found under ‘Financial Package’ section of the RYANI Return to Boating Page.
