Partnering with National Governing Bodies to Turn Funding into Lasting Impact
Bespoke - Evidence-informed - People-first - Built for your sport
Sport Ireland funding creates a powerful opportunity for National Governing Bodies to move beyond short-term delivery and build programmes that change systems, cultures and behaviours.
At No Other Game Around Ltd., we work with NGBs to design, deliver and evaluate bespoke programmes that are rooted in the needs of each sport. Our approach is never off-the-shelf. We listen first, understand your structures, challenges and ambitions, and then co-design practical workshops, leadership supports, coach education, inclusion programmes and reporting frameworks that create measurable impact.
Our work aligns strongly with the priorities of modern sport: participation, performance, inclusion, leadership, well-being, governance and sustainability. This reflects NOGA’s own focus on connecting grassroots participation to high performance through strategy, governance and culture design, including player and coach pathways, EDI frameworks, coach and match official education, funding alignment and reporting models.
Dormant Account Funding
At NOGA Performance Consulting, we help NGBs turn priorities into meaningful, measurable programmes. We collaborate with you to understand your sport, your communities and your current structures, then design supports that fit your unique context.
We can work with your organisation to develop:
Inclusion and EDI workshops for staff, coaches, volunteers and clubs
Disability inclusion learning programmes and club-facing supports
Volunteer leadership and youth leadership development pathways
Coach and match official education programmes with inclusion built in
Community engagement models that connect national strategy to local delivery
Monitoring, evaluation and impact reporting frameworks aligned to funder expectations
Bespoke resources, toolkits and learning sessions that can be scaled across clubs and regions
Our role is to help your organisation move from funding application to real-world impact. We support NGBs to design programmes that are credible, deliverable and sustainable, with clear outcomes for participants, clubs, volunteers and communities.
Because when inclusion is designed into the system, participation grows, people feel they belong, and sport becomes stronger for everyone.
Talk to NOGA today about designing a Dormant Accounts-funded programme that fits your sport, your people and your communities.
Women In Sport Funding
At No Other Game Around Ltd., we help NGBs design Women in Sport programmes that are practical, inclusive and built around the lived experience of women and girls. We understand that every sport has different barriers, cultures, pathways and opportunities. That is why we co-design every programme with you, rather than delivering generic content.
We can support your Women in Sport work through:
Leadership development programmes for women in sport
Coaching and officiating pathway supports for women and girls
Workshops for clubs on inclusive environments and female athlete retention
Programmes to support adolescent girls and reduce dropout
Mentoring, confidence and communication workshops
Female coach and match official networks
Governance and board readiness supports for women moving into leadership
Culture reviews and action planning for NGBs and clubs
We help NGBs move from ambition to action by building programmes that develop people, strengthen systems and create environments where women and girls feel visible, valued and supported.
NOGA’s philosophy is simple: when people grow, performance follows. Your Women in Sport programme should not be a standalone initiative. It should become part of how your organisation leads, coaches, communicates and makes decisions.
Partner with NOGA to design a Women in Sport programme that creates real pathways for participation, leadership and long-term cultural change.
