In December, we advertised our Healthy Ireland Community Walks Grant Scheme which provides funding to help groups and clubs to organise walks in their communities. Ten clubs and groups applied. Some of the groups have started their walks already! The walks will be running across the county for six weeks, in many different locations and are available for anyone wishing to join in. The walks are a great chance to meet people and to get active in your community in 2024!

Here is a listing of all the walks and their start dates.
Follow the group/clubs on Social media to keep up to date with what’s going on!
