Over 100 Donegal clubs and community organisations to benefit from €104,000 funding

Over 100 sports clubs, groups and organisations in Donegal are to benefit from a fund of €104,000.

The allocation under the Covid-19 Return to Sport Funding Programme is aimed at supporting sports clubs and community organisations in their efforts to deliver sport and physical activity in parallel with the pandemic.

The funding will cover additional costs such as sports and sanitising equipment, venue hire, training and education, and community engagement programmes.

Welcoming the funding allocation, Donegal Sports Partnership Coordinator, Myles Sweeney, says; “Around 160 applications were received across the three funding streams of sports clubs, community organisations and coach/volunteer support. To date, approximately €100,000 has been awarded which is a significant investment to grassroots sport. We are hopeful that a further round of funding for clubs and communities will be presented in early 2022,” Mr Sweeney said.

Earlier this month, DSP was approved additional funding of €98,200 to support the ongoing return to community support and physical activity.
