Over 50 grassroots sports clubs, 33 of which are based in Northern Ireland, have this year benefited from Fibrus’ Play it Forward Fund, which supports children’s sports clubs in rural communities.
Over the last two years, the Fibrus Play it Forward fund has contributed £100,000 to sports clubs in both Northern Ireland and Cumbria. It has provided more than £30k to NI groups and organisations this year.
Fibrus has offered grants of up to £1,000 per club which are designed to help with equipment, kits, improving facilities and subsidising training fees.
This year, over 6,000 children in NI and Cumbria in 53 different local sports clubs will benefit from funding.
One recipient of this year’s Play it Forward Fund is the Causeway Giants Wheelchair Basketball Club from Coleraine.
Linda McMillan, Chief People Officer at Fibrus, said: “We are committed to playing a role in improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people, so investing in local communities is important to us.
“Sports and clubs are at the heart of the communities where we operate, and we want to support these communities as widely as we can.”
