Sport NI

Leander ASC took part in our Creating Opportunities programme and raised £10,300 with £5,000 match funding from Sport NI.

Their 'Get On Deck' programme aimed to encourage females of all ages to get in the pool and/or try Swim Ireland coaching and teaching qualifications. Besides this, they also ran outreach to schools and hosted workshops on subjects such as body image, confidence building, nutrition and a technical skills clinic for athletes.

Your club, community organisation, charity or PTA can now avail of up to £5,000 match funding thanks to National Lottery Good Causes funding!
