GAA And Local Authorities To Partner For Sustainable Communities

On Friday January 24th 2020 the GAA and the local authority sector, represented by the County and City Management Association (CCMA) announced an innovative new initiative pledging to work together to lead their communities in promoting sustainability and climate action.

The partnership will capitalise on the leadership roles both organisations have within their communities, and the potential they have to engage with citizens of all ages to promote sustainable local development, environmental awareness and climate action.

The partnership builds on the GAA’s status as a Sustainable Development Goal Champion and aligns with local government commitments under the National Climate Action Plan and Local Authorities’ Climate Action Charters.

A steering group, composed of representatives from the Local Authority sector, the GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association, have begun work on the development of a Green Club toolkit, which will be piloted in 2020 ahead of the roll-out of a National Green Club Support Plan in 2021.

The Green Club toolkit, which will be piloted across a small number of clubs throughout the country, will be focused on the key action areas of Energy & Water Efficiency, Biodiversity, Waste Management & Plastic Use and Transport

Sustainable Club and Community Partnership projects include:

• Development of a Sustainable Club
• Sustainable Club Workshops
• Promotion and Support of Sustainable Energy Communities
• A Sustainable Development Goal Action Module in the GAA/PDST TY Future Leaders Programme, with contributions across GAA/LGFA/Camogie Association input at all levels of the Mainstream Education System (with the Department of Education and Skills)
• Green Procurement Guidelines and Support
• Further Developing Croke Park as a World Exemplar Stadium in Sustainable Development
• Alignment to Statutory Funding Streams

 

Speaking at the launch, Uachtaran CLG John Horan said, “An increasing number of clubs are seeking guidance in the area of sustainability, and our members are very anxious to play their part in the fight against climate change. The collaboration with the Local Authority Sector is an ideal partnership to help us to develop our clubs sustainability within and for communities and to reach people in every corner of Ireland with information that will help them to make changes in their own lives to support the effort against climate change and adapting to evolving challenges.”

Michael Walsh, CCMA Chairman said, “The GAA and local authorities both represent local leadership, community, legacy and vision. We each have relevant networks, knowledge, existing partners and facilities. Working together we can have huge impact and enable the necessary behavioural change in our communities.”

The Social Enterprise Development Fund is a €3.2 million Fund which is being delivered over four years; 2018–2022. An additional commitment of €1.6m in 2020, added to an original commitment of €1.6m in 2018, brings the overall Fund to an investment of €3.2m in total, the most significant private investment in social enterprises to date.

 

The Fund was created by Social Innovation Fund Ireland (SIFI) in partnership with Local Authorities Ireland and is funded by IPB Insurance and the Department of Rural and Community Development. The Department of Rural and Community Development provides match funding for funds raised by Social Innovation Fund Ireland, via the Dormant Accounts Fund.

 

The objective of the Fund is to find and back social enterprises that add to the social and economic fabric of their community by way of social impact. The Fund will provide critical support to the most innovative and impactful social enterprises across Ireland, helping them to:

» Increase their social impact

» Increase their traded income

» Create more jobs

» Develop long-term, effective and sustainable solutions.

 

CASH GRANTS
In 2020, the Fund will support up to 16 social enterprises with cash grants of between €10,000 and €50,000 and a place on our accelerator programme.

ACCELERATOR PROGRAMME
All successful applicants will win a place on Ireland’s only National Accelerator Programme specifically designed for social enterprises. The Accelerator Programme will equip social enterprises with the skills they need to scale up and deepen their social impact.

GENESIS PROGRAMME
For the first time in 2020, the Social Enterprise Development Fund has an exciting new offering. The Genesis Programme will provide support to select social enterprises who do not receive a cash grant. The attendees for the programme will be selected across Ireland, ensuring that the Social Enterprise Development Fund offers support to social enterprises in every Local Authority area.

FURTHER INVESTMENT
At the end of the Accelerator Programme, all successful social enterprises will have the opportunity to pitch for a share of an additional €100,000. This further investment will be awarded to the social enterprises that demonstrate the greatest potential for future impact and growth.

For more information and to apply to the fund visit: http://www.socialinnovation.ie/sedfund2020/

 

The deadline for applications is the 6th of March at 5 pm.

 

Closing Date for Supplement to Register of Electors has now passed.
