Ireland Lights Up and the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Every Step Counts Challenge are back and clubs across Meath have been signing up.
The challenge offers GAA clubs the chance to win a share of €30,000 in club funding
The initiatives aim to create a healthier Ireland by encouraging people from all over the country to join together through their local GAA Club and get out walking over a five-week period.
Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Every Step Counts Challenge runs from the 8th January 2025 to 12th February 2025, and is hosted on Irish Life’s health and wellbeing app, MyLife, allowing users to join their local club and track their activity.
The challenge offers the chance to win a share of *€30,000 in GAA club funding from Irish Life. Each GAA Club that surpasses the 4,000-kilometre target recorded by their participants will be entered into a draw to win one of three €2,500 donations towards club funding, across each province. The challenge was initially launched during lockdown to help people across Ireland get active and provide a social connection to others in their communities.
Since 2021 the challenge has continued to evolve, with 970 clubs taking part in 2024 – a testament to the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Programme commitment to improve health and wellbeing in communities across Ireland.
