What is Club Leaders NI?Club Leaders NI provides free support to those involved in running clubs on the key business aspects of club management. It aims to create a robust, economically sustainable and enterprising sports club network across Northern Ireland. This support includes business and financial planning, marketing, governance and facilities management.

We know that the people behind the scenes are the backbone of sports clubs and this programme is here to support them, saving time and providing tips to save money.

The programme is funded by Sport Northern Ireland and delivered by PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC).
