Leitrim Sports Partnership have invited applications for funding under their funding for Volunteer Supports programme and their Sports Club Development Grants programme with €30,000 in funding available for clubs.
Volunteer Supports Programme
The Volunteer Supports project enriches club and community development programmes in disadvantaged communities and with disability groups. The Volunteer Supports initiative aims to successfully identify and assist targeted individuals who are volunteering in sports clubs, and community groups. This fund enables coaches, leaders, referees, committee members to expend their physical activity leadership skills and knowledge. The total budget available for Volunteer Support Grants across all sports and recreation organisations is €20,000 (maximum €800 per club) so allocations will be made based on the quality of submissions received.
