The Sports Capital & Equipment Programme (SCEP) as operated by my Department provides grants to assist in the development or refurbishment of sports facilities and the provision of sports equipment.

One of the Programme’s main objectives is to help maximise participation in sport and physical recreation. A new round of the Programme is now open for applications and the detailed Guide to Making an Application is available at the following link:-

This Guide sets out, inter alia, the type of projects funded under the scheme.

While the school referred to by the Deputy may apply for funding jointly with a local sports club or organisation, funding the refurbishment of a room and the purchase of equipment for computer programming would not be eligible for this grant programme.
