The Sports Capital Programme (SCP) is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and physical recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country. 

As the SCP is always oversubscribed, priority is given to facilities and equipment that focus on increasing participation in sport. The programme funds a wide variety of works including security fencing and while it does not normally fund CCTV systems,  it is open to any applicant to make a case as to why such measures are required. It is expected that a new round of the Programme will open later this year and the full terms and conditions will be published in advance.
