A new round of the Sports Capital Programme (SCP) was launched on 28th March 2012.

By the deadline for applications (11 May for paper-based applications and 1 June for applications made online) the Department had received over 2,150 applications for funding under the 2012 SCP.

An application for a grant towards the construction or refurbishment of an indoor sports facility would, subject to meeting the other application criteria, be eligible for assessment under the SCP.
