Local sports clubs can apply for funding of up to £1000 from a new 'Play it Forward Fund' from full fibre broadband company Fibrus.
Funding can be used for new kit and equipment, to improve existing facilities, or towards training fees. The fund opened yesterday and closes 27 June 2023.
Speaking of the initiative Dominic Kearns, Chief Executive of Fibrus, said “Sport and clubs are the heart of many of the towns and villages we operate in and Fibrus has committed to investment not only through the build of our critical infrastructure, but in the people and kids within those communities that represent them with pride.
“Now, more than ever, it’s important for children to have access to digital connectivity for education and communication. Yet, it’s equally important for them to take time to take time away from their devices, make friends, and have fun. That's why we’re launching a new sports fund to support clubs that help children get outside and connect with each other.”
Fibrus have supported An Ríocht GAA Club and Rathfriland Football Club as well as their corporate sponsorship deals with Antrim GAA and Coleraine Football Club
The Fibrus ‘Play it Forward Fund’ will be made available in two tranches, with the first round closing 27 June, and the second round opening in October.
