The event is open to all clubs/sporting organisations in the previous Larne and Ballymena areas of Mid and East Antrim.

James McKay, Chair of North Antrim Community Network said: “Over the past number of months we’ve been working more and more with local sporting clubs and organisations involved in promoting physical and mental wellbeing. NACN has identified a need to help our local clubs be more “investment ready”.

“Is there a pot of public money out there which you could be dipping into? Whether football or fishing, Darts or dancing come along and let us help steer your club’s strategic plan”.
