The consultation is open to everyone, including individuals, groups, clubs and organisations.

“This is your opportunity to help shape the future of sport, physical activity, health and wellbeing in County Leitrim,” said a post on Leitrim Sports Partnership’s Facebook.

“We want to hear your views, ideas, and experiences so that the new Strategic Plan reflects the needs and priorities of people and communities across the county.

“Please come along, share your views, and be part of shaping the future of sport and physical activity in Leitrim.”

In January, Leitrim Sports Partnership received €226,000 in funding to support the continued delivery and expansion of a wide range of programmes across the county, with a strong focus on inclusion, increasing participation among older adults, and improving opportunities for women and girls to take part in sport and physical activity.
