Other Sports Bodies


Ulster Sports Trust

Ulster Sports Trust
   

 

In some instances Sport NI will work with umbrella organisations which represent the interests of two or more Governing Bodies in addition to, or instead of working with the individual organizations.

It is recognized such collaborative work between Governing Bodies provides economies of scale, co-ordination, the showing of good practice and the pooling of resources across Governing Bodies.

Organisations which the Council is currently working with in this regard include;

  •         NI Sports forum,

  •         Countryside Access and Activities Network,

  •         Disability Sport NI,

  •         NI Shooting Federation,

  •         NI Equestrian Committee,

  •         2+4 Wheel Motorsport Ltd.

On occasion Sport NI will invest in these bodies directly where applicants clearly demonstrate the Governing Body support.
