The 2012 sports capital programme is now closed. The closing date for on-line applications was 5 p.m. on Friday 1 June 2012. Any organisation that applied under the programme should receive an acknowledgement of its application before the end of July 2012.

Departmental officials will start evaluating all applications as soon as possible. This process will take some time, due to the volume of applications and the detailed information contained in each one. As a result, I do not expect to be able to announce the list of successful applicants before the late autumn or early winter 2012.

My Department operates the sports capital programme. The application period for the 2012 SCP is now closed. Organisations seeking funding outside of the SCP might contact their national governing body of sport, local authority or local sports partnership.
