WE'RE HIRING

Carlow County Council are now recruiting for the post of Community Sports Development Officer.

The Community Sports Development Officer will be based in Carlow Sports Partnership.

The aim of the Community Sports Development Officer funded by Sport Ireland is to strengthen and enhance the capacity of the Local Sports Partnerships to further develop locally led plans and more long term sustainable physical activity programmes under the National Physical Activity Plan (Action 46). Funding for the role of Community Sports Development Officer has been secured for this position through Sport Ireland. The objectives of the post are to:

3. Develop sustainable local leadership for sport within communities.

The role of the Community Sports Development Officer is to foster and encourage a culture of Active Participation, supporting opportunities for and access to sport and physical activity in local communities.

Winter Initiative 2022

The second year of the Winter Initiative, a major national campaign, has been launched by Minister of State for Sport and the Gaeltacht Jack Chambers to get as many people as possible exercising and participating in physical activity over the coming months.

Winter is often a time when people become less active due to the shorter daylight hours and worsening weather. However, getting involved in sport, exercise and physical activity have huge benefits to individuals and communities and the Winter Initiative is designed to ensure that these can be felt by as many people as possible.

The first Winter Initiative was a huge success, with thousands of people engaging with activities and programmes organised by National Governing Bodies (NGBs), Local Sports Partnerships (LSPs) and clubs in towns and communities all over the country and that success will be built upon this winter.

This ‘Winter Initiative’ calls on women, men, children, grandparents, cousins, neighbours, friends, work colleagues who haven’t yet ‘got going’ to get out walking, running, cycling or participating in some form of physical activity.  This programme is open from now until the end of January 2023 and participants are welcome to register at any stage throughout the winter months.

Local clubs and groups are also encouraged to post and advertise their events and activities online to spread the word about the Winter Initiative and encourage new people to try out different sports which they may have felt were outside their comfort zone before now.
