The Council has three policy objectives:

• to increase and sustain committed participation, especially amongst young people

To achieve its overall aim of developing sport from grass-roots to elite standard, the Council works closely with other organisations.

Its main partners include:

• district councils

• education and library boards

• governing bodies of sport

• government departments and statutory agencies

• voluntary clubs and organisations

• the education sector

• the commercial sector

The Sports Council for Northern Ireland is also responsible for distributing Lottery Sports Fund awards.

The Council is part of a broad Sport network and has a close relationship with its equivalent organisations in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as the UK Sports Council, which has responsibility for UK wide sport.
