Growth & Innovation Fund- Consultation Survey

Overview

Sport NI has launched a public consultation on the proposed new ‘SPI – Growth and Innovation Fund’.

The proposed fund is specifically designed as a Test and Learn Process, that will support partners to deliver system growth and/or test innovative approaches that challenge the norm in an ever-changing sporting landscape.

The proposed Fund focuses on three strands: 

• Strand 1: Insight – supports development of insight to address growth issues.
• Strand 2: Growth – supports projects seeking to increase participation; increase coaching / volunteering and/or system development.
• Strand 3: Innovation – supports projects which have new and innovative ideas, approaches or technologies (these may include but not be limited to digital, social, economical or environmental sustainability)

To help inform and shape the final version of this investment, we want to hear from funded and unfunded organisations, from system leaders and community partners, from people with lived experience and those building more equitable systems.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute.

What happens next

Once the consultation closes, Sport NI will: 

1. Analyse all responses – Feedback from the survey responses and facilitated workshops will be collated and reviewed.
    
2. Refine the programme design – Insights from the consultation will directly inform the final shape of the ‘SPI – Growth and Innovation Fund’ for approval within Sport NI.
