Following the recent completion of the Playing Pitch Strategy, Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Sports Committee has invested in a new Maintenance Fund that will provide financial assistance towards clubs who own and maintain their facilities and in particular playing pitches.
The aim of the fund is to provide financial assistance to ensure that clubs have the opportunity to maintain their playing surface to the highest level, therefore enabling greater usage on a more regular basis. Any financial assistance must be associated with maintenance of the playing surface or fixed asset that is integral towards the delivery of the sport.
The fund opens for applications on Monday 12th August 2024 at 10am and closes on Friday 6th September 2024 at 3.00pm.
Eligible maintenance costs can only be incurred from the 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.
Maintenance costs incurred after the 31st March 2025 will not be eligible.
