Sport Matters: The Strategy for Sport and Physical Recreation 2009-2019 proposes a strategy for the development of sport and physical recreation in Northern Ireland up to 2019 – a strategy which will provide a lasting and sustainable legacy for future generations. In so doing, the document identifies 26 high level targets (and related key steps) and sets the key strategic priorities for sport and physical recreation over the next ten years and will inform future investment by all stakeholders across the public, private and community/voluntary sectors.
The high level targets are structured to reflect the current and anticipated needs of sport and physical recreation as expressed through consultation.
The Sport Matters Action Plan 2015-19 highlights the actions proposed by members of the Sport Matters Implementation Groups (SMIGs) against the high-level targets identified in the Strategy yet to be achieved, over the period 2015-2019.
