Women in Sport Club Winter Wellness Grants

This winter Triathlon Ireland is encouraging women and girls to keep active, and we have grants available to help clubs make this happen! Me and My Girls is the continuing theme so family and friends are all welcome to join!
Winter Wellness
We want to encourage all women and girls to stay active this winter, and take part in activities and events that promote and support mindfulness and wellbeing.
Thanks to a brilliant idea from Naas Triathlon Club, we want to grow this initiative and support other clubs who want to encourage and support both existing and new members. Following the success of HER Outdoors week, we want to build on this and continue to encourage women and girls to stay fit and active mentally and physically.
Everyone Welcome
This is a great opportunity for clubs to introduce the sport to new participants and to increase club membership.
Some ideas could be Yoga and social aimed at mothers and daughters or spin class followed by a session on nutrition or healthy eating aimed at women in your local community. The idea could be a one-off event or session, or a series of initiatives.
