In 2025, fifteen clubs in Offaly were officially accredited as healthy clubs under the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs programme. This honour reflects their exceptional dedication to promoting the health and wellbeing of their members and communities.
Nearly two years of hard work by volunteer teams made this achievement possible. These volunteers generously contribute their time to ensure the GAA remains a strong advocate for health, inclusion, and community spirit throughout Ireland.
Among the fifteen clubs, seven are being recognised for the first time, while eight clubs have successfully renewed their accreditation for an additional two years. This highlights their sustained commitment to the values of the Irish Life GAA Healthy Clubs Programme.
These volunteers "give freely of their time to ensure the GAA continues to be a driving force for health, inclusion, and community spirit across Ireland."
