The online event, delivered in partnership with funding expert Richard Forsythe from Forsythe Consultancy, will provide practical guidance on how to identify, apply for, and secure financial support for a wide range of sporting activities and initiatives.

The seminar will take place on Zoom at 7:30pm and is open to sports clubs, community groups, and volunteers across Upper Bann and beyond who are keen to learn more about funding opportunities available to them.

Encouraging local groups to take part, Carla Lockhart MP said:

“Our local sports clubs and organisations are at the heart of community life — promoting health, teamwork, and positive engagement for people of all ages. However, many struggle with limited funding, especially in the current climate.

That’s why I’m delighted to partner with Richard Forsythe, whose extensive experience in helping groups navigate the funding landscape will be a huge asset to those attending. Whether you’re looking to improve facilities, purchase equipment, or expand programmes, this seminar will offer practical advice and support.

I would encourage any club or group with an interest in accessing funding to register and join us for what promises to be an informative and worthwhile session.”
