Before considering what funding streams might be available, either now or in the future, clubs must first be clear about their own needs. This clarity should come through the club development plan as the community consultation process will already have identified priorities. Once those needs are established, clubs should take time to analyse the full range of what they offer. With the development plan in place, clubs can then focus on the aims linked directly to physical infrastructure and build detail around these projects. Throughout the process, clubs should remain true to their core values and be willing to return to their membership for guidance and feedback.
