Gaelic Games’ commitment to inclusivity and community support continues with the launch of the ‘Local Disability Fund’, a pivotal initiative aimed at bolstering Disability Supports Clubs across the 26-county region. As an integral component of this year’s National Governing Bodies Dormant Accounts funding call, the fund is geared towards empowering clubs affiliated to the GAA, LGFA, and Camogie Association, including Handball and Rounders clubs.
The funding is designed to assist in the provision of inclusive programmes and supports for people with a disability. Funding can support new inclusive initiates and/or those already established in Gaelic Games clubs.
Clubs can apply for funding of between €1,000 and €3,000 to support any one of the following three areas: 1. Disability Supports Education & Training, 2. Disability Supports Programme Activation and Delivery. 3.Disability Supports Small Scale Equipment and Infrastructure.
This online funding application process will remain open until Friday 24th May.
