The Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Programme will invite clubs across Ireland to take part in Healthy Clubs Inclusion Day on September 26. This nationwide endeavour forms part of the European Week of Sport and is proudly supported by Sport Ireland, encouraging organisations to showcase their commitment to fostering welcoming spaces for all members of the public.
Clubs will be encouraged to organise open days and specific activities, ranging from community walks and inclusive games to Rounders taster sessions and intergenerational events. Local groups are urged to collaborate with community partners to reach individuals who might not typically engage with traditional sporting structures, ensuring diverse participation across every parish.
Exemplary efforts from clubs such as Éire Óg Inis in Clare and Na Gaeil Nua in Dublin will be highlighted through inspiring case studies to demonstrate innovative community connection. Interested organisers can find further details and register their participation by visiting the official website.
