The Department currently preparing for the next round of the Community Sport Facilities Fund (CSFF), which I expect to open soon.
New guidelines will be published in advance of the opening of the next round which will include eligibility, likely assessment criteria and maximum grant amounts for the next round. My aim is to have as many eligible sporting bodies as possible applying, by simplifying the application process and guide, and carrying out a wide-reaching communications campaign.
