Funding Masterclass Announced

Cricket Ireland and the Provincial Unions are keen to build the capacity of clubs to apply for funding. 

To this end, Cricket Ireland has commissioned ‘2 into 3’ to deliver two important Masterclasses to clubs throughout Ireland. 

‘2 into 3’ is a Dublin-based management consulting company with expertise in applying for funding.  They are assisted in Northern Ireland by Otium Leisure Consultancy.

The funding picture for Northern Ireland’s sports clubs is challenging with opportunities seemingly limited and infrequent. 

All the more reason for cricket clubs to clearly understand what funding is available, how to prepare for funding programmes and what makes an application stand out amongst all others. 

The North West is here to help and support clubs to avail of these opportunities, however, clubs must also be ‘ready, willing and able’.

‘2 into 3’ will run the first Masterclass on “Sports Funding” specifically for clubs in the Northern West Cricket Union.  The details are outlined below:

Date – Thursday 4th October 2018 
Time – 6.30pm – 9.00pm at 
Venue – Whitehorse Hotel, Eglinton

The Masterclass will cover funding opportunities, getting ready for funding and preparing an application.  The event is free to attend.  The purpose is to enable more NWCU cricket clubs to be able to respond to funding opportunities.  The outcome for clubs should be a better understanding of funding processes.

To RSVP: 
Please email the names of your club representatives attending the Masterclass to Colin Manson (Colin.manson@cricketireland.ie) no later than Monday 1st of October 2018.

Further courses will be run on Fundraising in due course.
