High Quality facilities are fundamental to the sporting and indeed the wider community. Quality facilities provide a home for clubs, allow elite athletes to train and compete at their potential, and are actively used by the wider community. Many facilities are desperately in need or refurbishment, renovation and revamping. There are funding opportunities available that are able to support this work.
