<p>The UK Government has invested £6.99 million in Northern Ireland between 2021-2025
through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme. This funding has supported
71 projects so far which includes £210,000 for Rosario Youth FC’s grass pitch maintenance
equipment and Rathmore Grammar’s upgraded artificial pitch and floodlights in Belfast
South.</p><p>As noted in the Government's recent Safeguarding the Union publication,
I will shortly be visiting Northern Ireland, where I intend to discuss this crucial
work with the new Minister for Communities. We also continue to work closely with
the Irish Football Association to ensure that this funding targets the communities
which need it most, helping increase participation by under-represented groups, and
levelling up the provision for high quality pitches and facilities.</p>
