South and North Leitrim Clubs & Community Group Sports Forum Meetings

Leitrim Sports Partnership (LSP) works to promote participation, inclusion and coordination in sport at a local level. LSP aids the continuous development of all the clubs and community groups that are located within the County. This is achieved by providing information in relevant areas, offering education and training programmes to improve the knowledge of the clubs and their members and implement programmes which provide adequate assistance to help the clubs and community groups grow and develop further.

Leitrim Sports Partnership is establishing a North and South Leitrim Sports Forum to represent all of the various sports clubs and community groups in the area. Every sports club/group based in the County can nominate one/two individuals to represent it on the Sports Forum, where members will tackle issues of:

• Mutual interest,
• Discover methods of overcoming local community issues,
• Looking at funding opportunities for clubs/groups,
• Identifying best practice in club development etc.

This group allows for better communication between clubs and community groups and act as a coordinated voice for local level sports clubs in the County. Leitrim sport partnership will advise on how they can help, support, and advise best practice in sport development.
