Sport Ireland Active Cities

The Active Cities fund will invest in sport and physical activity initiatives in Ireland’s five cities. The

Active Cities concept is built on the principles of the Global Action Plan for Physical Activity (GAPPA),

developed by the WHO in 2018. An Active City will strive to create social norms about the benefits of

sport and physical activity, create programmes and opportunities for its citizens regardless of ability

or age, work in partnership to increase physical activity & decrease inactivity, and create/maintain

environments where sport & physical activity can happen ultimately working toward healthier

lifestyles of their citizens. Each Active City will be unique in how they carry out actions under the four

guiding pillars of the GAPPA, but partnership working and multi city collaboration is encouraged.

Sport Ireland Innovation for Sports Inclusion

Within the National Sports Policy one of the overarching values is innovation. The NSP “will encourage

and stimulate innovative solutions to the challenges we seek to address around participation, high

performance and the development of the sports sector.” Additionally, the National Sports Policy

promotes “developing an adaptable and innovative sports sector that is capable of identifying and

responding to the differing and changing needs of individuals at different points in their lives.” The

innovation funding stream also links into numerous actions from the National Physical Activity Plan

supporting physical activity and sport participation across all levels of society.

The objectives of the Innovation Fund are to:

• Pilot new approaches to the development and promotion of sport participation

• Evaluate and document successes and failures of the approach; and

• Demonstrate replicability and scalability for nationwide use and implementation.

The fund looks to test innovative and scalable solutions to critical problems and challenges in the

development of sports participation at national, local, community and individual levels. Applications

needed to identify targeted populations from those who are economically, socially or educationally

disadvantaged or who have a disability. In alignment with the National Sports Policy action areas,

applications also needed to align under at least one of five themes: Outdoors, Community Sport,

Youth, Technology or Inclusion.

Urban Outdoor Adventure Initiatives

Opportunities for young people living in disadvantaged communities to experience outdoor adventure

sports is limited due to natural environments, distance from traditional outdoor settings (forests,

mountains etc.) where activities are usually offered, and need for equipment, supervision, training

and support to engage in these sports. The objective of the Urban Outdoor Adventure Initiatives is to

create new opportunities for people living in disadvantaged communities to participate in outdoor

adventure sports in urban settings. The programme also seeks to create new opportunities for at risk

youth in disadvantaged communities and people with a disability.

opportunities to support targeted volunteers. This funding stream is only open to individuals operating

initiatives within their community. The initiative will provide training for young people, keeping them
