If your club is considering facility upgrades—such as renovations, building new courts, a club gym, improving access, improving energy efficiency, or completing other capital works, I would encourage you to review the eligibility criteria and the associated maps.
If you believe your club could benefit from this funding, I recommend exploring the map of eligible CLÁR areas and contacting your Local Authority to discuss the application process.
