Purpose

In this investment, where applicable, Sport Northern Ireland will contribute to the essential personal living costs of an athlete.

This investment aims to enable athletes to train in order to maximise potential.  Those applying will be required to demonstrate that their circumstances have changed or need to change significantly to allow them to adequately prepare for competition or the national high performance programme.

This investment is in line with outcome two within Sport NI’s Draft Corporate Plan. The outcome target is ‘Our (NI) athletes among the best in the World’. This programme seeks to help more NI athletes win at the highest level by targeting athletes who have the potential to achieve success and excel in Olympics, Paralympics and Commonwealth Games.
