Tyne and Wear Sport have invested over £35,000 into local sports clubs over the last 18 months as part of their new Club Bursary Scheme. Over 150 sports clubs have benefitted from the bursary programme spanning 29 sports including angling, trampolining and Cricket. In addition the CSP has also organised a variety of workshops for clubs and organisations including specific funding workshops.
Following their first Inspired Facilities Workshop, Tyne and Wear Sport then provided individual support to a number of clubs and schools who then submitted applications. The CSP worked closely with Whickham Golf Club who were successful in securing £75,000 through Sport England’s Inspired Facilities fund. The investment in the club and support from the CSP will enable them to welcome new junior and adult members to golf and increase regular participation of their current members.
