Sport NI’s vision is “Northern Ireland: renowned as a place where people enjoy, engage and excel in sport”. In practice, this means Sport NI creates and develops programmes and partnerships that address its three strategic objectives:
- to increase and support the number of people adopting and sustaining a sporting lifestyle;
- to enable more people to develop and reach their sporting goals through a structured environment; and
- to help more Northern Ireland athletes win at the highest level.
