2. Volunteer Training / Education Fund – Coach Education and general volunteer training ie First Aid etc can be supported to a maximum of 50% of the total cost. Note: Excludes Safeguarding courses as these are already subsidized by the Partnership.
Since the scheme was established hundreds of initiatives have been assisted in communities across Mayo. The continued development of GAA, Soccer and Rugby for All in clubs has been supported with considerable awareness of the need to include people with a disability in all sports.
Organisations / Groups are asked to note that any capital / building projects are not eligible for investment under the schemes criteria and clubs should refer to the governments sports capital programme, see https://www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie/ . Other items such as ongoing costs for teams ie travel costs, competition costs, registration fees, sponsorship etc are also not eligible.
maximum allocation to any one project can be €1,000, this is dependent on meeting the criteria and overall quality of the initiative. The Mayo Sports Partnership committee will decide on all successful applications and its recommendations are final.
