The Sports Council for Northern Ireland plans to open a new challenge funding programme
during November 2005, with a closing date December 2005. The new programme will 
invite applications from statutory organizations and ‘umbrella’ community/voluntary
organizations with a multisport commitment.

The Sports Council particularly seeks to encourage applications that improve physical
literacy and therefore participation in sport and physical activity among under-
represented groups, especially people with a disability. Details will be available
shortly to download from the Sports Council website.

The new programme follows a recent consultation exercise on ‘Proposals for Funding
Community Sport beyond 1st April 2006.’
