• governing bodies of sport

• government departments and statutory agencies

• voluntary clubs and organisations

• the education sector

• the commercial sector

Sport NI is also responsible for distributing Lottery Sports Fund awards.

Sport NI is part of a broad Sport network and has a close relationship with its equivalent organisations in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as the UK Sports Council, which has responsibility for UK wide sport.
