Community Sport Programme – Project Level Evaluations

The Big Lottery funded Community Sport Programme was an investment award which aimed to improve the health and well-being of individuals and build community cohesion through increased participation of children, young people and adults in areas of high social need and groups traditionally marginalised in sport and physical activity.

20 projects were funded though this investment award and all were given the opportunity to bid for funding to carry out a ‘project level evaluation’.  Five organisations were successful in their application for funding, these organisations were:

• Age Concern NI -Community Sports Development Initiative

• Age Concern NI -Community Sports Development Initiative Executive Summary;

• Castlereagh Borough Council, Greater Village Regeneration Trust and Lower Ormeau Residents’ Action Group – Older and Active Programme;

• Lisburn City Council - Active Lives Club;

• Derry City Council – Fit Futures, Yoga for Schools Programme;

• Strabane District Council – Melvin Community Sport Programme; and

• Youth Sport Omagh – Community Sport Programme.
