Small Grants Scheme now open in Northern Ireland

sported., the UK's leading sport for development charity, has announced the opening of its Small Grants Scheme for sported. Members in Northern Ireland.  This follows the opening of membership across Northern Ireland in March 2012.

Being a Member of sported. offers a number of benefits including the opportunity to apply to the Small Grants Scheme, a one-off grant of up to £2000.

Brenda Kelly, Northern Ireland Manager for sported. said "This is a great opportunity for groups here in Northern Ireland to benefit from the Small Grants Scheme. sported. has already helped hundreds of groups across England to deliver outcomes including reducing crime and antisocial behaviour, removing barriers to participation for excluded groups, educating in health and wellbeing, building stronger communities and providing young people with skills for work place and life."

sported. is now open and accepting membership from groups across Northern Ireland.   A number of local groups have already taken up the free membership offer and are accessing sported.'s membership support.   Apply to be Member of sported. here.
