Club Governance

Louth Local Sports Partnership is dedicated to strengthening and supporting sports clubs across the county by providing the resources, training, and guidance needed for long-term success. Whether you are an established club looking to expand or a new club just starting out, we offer expert advice and practical support to help you develop, grow, and create a positive sporting environment for all.

• Advice on compliance with safeguarding policies, health and safety, and insurance requirements.
• Support for clubs in applying for funding and grants.

• Assistance in promoting club activities to attract new members and retain existing ones.
• Development of initiatives to encourage participation among underrepresented groups, including women and girls, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities.
• Support for clubs in running open days, taster sessions, and outreach programmes.

• Programmes aimed at making sports clubs more inclusive and welcoming for all.
