Sports Capital Programme Allocations 2000 - 2016

The Sports Capital Programme aims to foster an integrated and planned approach to developing sports and physical recreation facilities throughout the country. In particular, its objectives are to:

• assist voluntary and community organisations, national governing bodies (NGBs) of sport, local authorities and in some cases VECs and schools to develop high quality, safe, well-designed, sustainable facilities in appropriate locations and to provide appropriate equipment to help maximise participation in sport and physical recreation
• prioritise the needs of disadvantaged areas in the provision of sports facilities
• encourage the multi-purpose use of local, regional and national sports facilities by clubs, community organisations and national governing bodies of sport
