Sports and Community Sector
According to information collected by the local council, over 200 community groups and more than 80 sports clubs operate in the Banbridge District. In all probability these figures represent a conservative estimate of the vibrancy and diversity of social capital in the local area as the council’s directory of community groups and sports clubs includes some but not all of the many different youth, sports, and other types of groups and clubs that meet under the auspices of local churches.
