Workshops
Child Protection
It is imperative that all clubs create the safest possible environment for all children and young people to participate in GAA Games and Activities. Central to this is the role of the Children’s Officer and Designated Officer. It is mandatory that every club has a Children’s Officer and that they are adequately trained to fulfil the requirements of their roles. Thiscourse provides that necessary training for both roles and is an excellent source of support and advice in a very sensitive area of club life.
Health and Wellbeing Officer Training
From 1st January all clubs are required by GAA rule to appoint a Health and Wellbeing Officer. This workshop advises on what the key roles and responsibilities are for this officer and how clubs can organise themselves to address the health needs of members.
Fundraising in your Club
This course looks at how best to organise your Club to implement practical ways to generate funds. The course showcases a range of innovative fundraising methods, reflecting on case studies from Clubs who have successfully implemented the approaches. Time will also be given to exploring the role of a fundraising unit within the Club and how best to plan for most effective fundraising.
Communications and Media
This course explores how clubs can communicate to their members and to an external audience to best promote club activities. The focus of this workshop is to ensure your club is seen by the wider public as the hub of your community. This session will explore various media platforms, including print, broadcast and online sources, and how to use these platforms to promote your club. This session will be a must forclub PROs but will also interest those people within the club who assist with club promotion for various teams and all codes.
