FOUR Ulster clubs, from Antrim, Armagh, Cavan and Donegal, are among the confirmed list of 13 chosen to participate in the LGFA’s 2024/2024 Club2Gether Programme.
Club2Gether is an exciting LGFA club development initiative, aimed at strengthening club structures.
This initiative focuses on developing areas such as volunteer recruitment and retention, governance and officer training, sponsorship and fundraising, Games Development and planning for the future to ensure sustainable structures are put in place.
Clubs will be provided with free training for their officers and coaches while resources will be made available to assist with building sustainable structures.
The option of putting a basic two-year plan will be put in place, with the aim of increasing the retention rate of volunteers.
This should, in turn, help to ensure that clubs can become more vibrant and active in their local communities.
The clubs selected hail from the four provinces and represent 11 counties, with the list comprising of six clubs from Leinster, four from Ulster, two from Connacht and one from Munster.
Speaking to mark the announcement, LGFA President Mícheál Naughton said: “We’re delighted to reveal the list of clubs who will participate in the 2024/2025 Club2Gether programme.
“Many clubs are thriving and in a very good place but we are also acutely aware that some clubs find themselves in more challenging situations and are in need of assistance and guidance.
“This programme aims to help struggling and established clubs who are seeking to improve and Club2Gether has the ability to assist in building solid and long-lasting club foundations, while also strengthening existing ones.
“The role-specific training available to club administrators and officers is of the highest quality and we’re looking forward to working with the 13 participating clubs.
“We wish each club involved the very best of luck on their Club2Gether journey.”
