Sports development
Creating a healthy city is one of our main priorities.
Belfast currently has poor levels of health compared to the rest of Northern Ireland so encouraging people to keep fit is very important.
Part of our job involves providing opportunities for everyone to enjoy sport and physical activity, regardless of their age, race, religion, gender, class or ability.
We do this by:
- managing leisure centres
- developing leisure programmes like Teenage Kicks, Make a Splash, Brian the Lion Multi-Skills Programme and our Schools Cross-Country event
- running our Healthwise GP referral scheme
- offering grants to sports clubs through our Support for Sport programme
- funding major sports events
- providing general help and advice to sports clubs
