Your School Your Club (YSYC) is an initiative to help promote community use of the existing sports provision that is held within the school estate. The main aim is to enhance the current sports provision that will help community groups and sports clubs who require additional facilities to meet their needs within their local community.
Evidence has highlighted that 55% of sports halls in Northern Ireland are located on the school estate, 35% of grass pitches are located on the school estate and 29% of synthetic pitches are located on the school estate (Your School – Your Club. A Practical Guide to Achieving Community Use of School Facilities).
Sport Northern Ireland and the Your School Your Club Joint Working Group are seeking to establish a list of potential projects who have the capability of progressing in the 2024/25 financial year.
For the 2024/25 financial year Your School Your Club has a budget of £500,000.
Projects with the potential to be delivered in 2024/25 will be invited to submit additional information and make a formal application to the programme.
To facilitate project delivery in 2024/25, projects will first be reviewed at 12noon Monday 2nd September 2024.
