Sport NI is designing a new investment programme to enhance and develop the sports system. The programme will be aligned to our new corporate plan outcomes and underpinned by our four cornerstones. To do this Sport NI is engaging with the sports sector to investigate and further develop this approach.

The Sport NI Corporate Plan, following significant partner consultation, identified the following mission statement and outcomes which will focus its delivery across the 2022-2026 period.

Mission Statement

We are passionate about maximising the power of sport to change lives. By 2026 we want the power of sport to be recognised and valued by all.
