2. 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).

updates regarding the Club Leaders NI programme, access to discussion forums, Q&As, events and

2. Seminars - Face to face training delivered across the province by professional services and business

3. MENTORING - A limited number of clubs can avail of a one-to-one mentoring relationship with an
experienced business professional to deliver a more intensive and personalised form of learning over an
extended period of time (up to 6 months). Clubs can register their interest for mentoring support via
our “mentoring” section online. Our mentoring programme is very popular and we can only help a
limited number of clubs at any one time.
