HONOURING THE PAST - INSPIRING THE FUTURE
The Legacy Argument
Sport brings people together, it inspires pride and drives ambition.
Sport improves our mental health and physical wellbeing and has the ability to enrich and change our lives.
Nations world-wide are often defined by their economy, their culture and their sporting success. Countries with an interesting and successful sports culture are most likely to have a greater profile internationally.
A legacy celebration of Ulster's sporting success has the ability to be central of shaping and showcasing Ulster worldwide.
The Economic Argument
The sports sector boosts the economy in 2 main ways. Directly through job creation and indirectly by reducing healthcare costs due to a heathier population.
Ulster Sports Legacy aims to be a catalyst that inspires participation and interest in a variety of sports across Ulster - as a spectator, a volunteer and or as a participant at grassroots, amateur or professional level.
