CLUB2GETHER 42 | SPRING 2024 | www.ladiesgaelic.ie T he Ladies Gaelic Football Association is pleased to acknowledge and honour the 14 clubs who have successfully completed the LGFA's 2023/2024 Club2Gether Programme. Now in its seventh year, Club2Gether is an exciting LGFA club development initiative, aimed at strengthening club structures. This initiative focuses on developing areas such as volunteer recruitment and retention, governance and officer training, sponsorship and fundraising, Games Development and planning for the future to ensure sustainable structures are put in place. Clubs were provided with free training for their officers and coaches while resources were made available to assist with building sustainable structures. Participating clubs will now receive follow-up calls and support from national LGFA Development staff. The clubs who completed the programme hail from the four provinces and represent 13 counties, comprising five clubs from Ulster, four from Leinster, three from Munster and two from Connacht. Participants from the clubs gathered in Croke Park on February 25, to mark the culmination of six months of outstanding work. The LGFA's Head of Volunteer Development, Niall Mulrine, added: "The Club2Gether programme really focuses on getting structures right, getting the things in place that help clubs do the things that they want to do. "The programme will put structures in place in terms of volunteer recruitment and retention, finance and fundraising, and effective governance throughout the clubs. "It helps clubs plan for the future and it helps them figure out not just what they're doing next week, but in the years to come. "We hope to run this programme annually and we will help any club that comes to us, we will help any club that needs support and help."
