The Healthy Club was set up by the GAA in 2013, with their aim was to make the GAA and community a healthier place. This was developed and supported with help from Healthy Ireland, HSE, the National Office for Suicide Prevention and CSR investment by Irish Life. We are proud to announce our sponsorship with Kilmainhamwood GFC!!

The first phase of the healthy club was completed by 16 clubs. Kilmainhamwood GFC was successful in their application to take part in phase 4. As part of been recognised as a healthy club they had to focus on two key areas; gambling, alcoholism, drug addiction and anti-smoking. 

With the help of our sponsorship, it enabled an evening of talks from 2 gentlemen who are recovering Alcoholics with drug abuse and gambling addiction. The night was a great success, we saw young adults 14 years and up joining the talk and parents of club members and non-club members joining. 

The under 15’s team are playing in a jersey sponsored by Thorntons Recycling. The below photo is of Bernadette from Kilmainhamwood GFC presenting our Kilmainhamwood Facility Manager Donal with a framed sponsored jersey. We want to wish them all the success in the club with their initiative!
