Dear ###

We write further to your request received 1 August 2024, which states:

"Please provide all information relating to the funding of the Isle of Man Football association between 2020 to 2024. Namely any information relating to subventions, grants, financial assistance or another other forms of financial support."

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the public authority does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find the information that you have requested. This is because the funding is allocated by the IOM Sport Committee and not DESC.

By way of advice and assistance, IOM Sport Committee publish funding allocations which can be found on the below link: https://www.isleofmansport.com/sports-liaison/support-for-sport/sports-funding/
