Sport Uniting Communities programme: get involved!

Irish FA, Ulster GAA and Ulster Rugby are offering clubs the opportunity to be part of the Sport Uniting Communities programme for 2021. Sport Uniting Communities is a collaboration between Ulster Rugby, Ulster GAA and the Irish Football Association, using sport as a tool to promote peace and reconciliation. To start the programme, clubs are invited to join a series of online workshops focused on the following topics:

• Defining Roles and Responsibilities within Clubs
• Volunteer Recruitment and Retention (focusing on marginalised groups)
• Succession Planning for Volunteers
• Becoming an Inclusive Club
• Volunteer Leadership and Mentoring

Once the workshops are complete clubs from all 3 sports are encouraged to work together in their local communities to deliver cross-community events which bring people from different backgrounds together using the unifying power of sport as well as engaging in various other workshops, conferences and webinars throughout the year including the Inclusive Clubs Programme, Good Relations Conference, Goldmark and the IFA Inclusive Clubs Programme. Dates and times for the workshops are as follows: Workshop 1: Tuesday 30th March, 7.00-8.30pm Workshop 2: Tuesday 27th April, 7.00-8.30pm Workshop 3: Tuesday 25th May, 7.00-8.30pm Please use the link below to register.
