Mungret St. Pauls GAA club was one of only 18 Clubs selected to participate in the initial pilot Phase of the Healthy Club Project, now there are 150 clubs across the 32 counties participating in the GAA’s Healthy Club project which is into Phase 3. Almost 220 clubs applied to participate in Phase 3 highlighting the progressive nature of Mungret St. Pauls GAA Club who have been a front runner in developing this initiative. Mungret St. Pauls have many successful initiatives around the Healthy Club model, we run a 10K as well as a Kids run annually which is in its 8th year and has proved to be a fantastic success, Men on the Move and Women on the Move projects which have run over the past two years have had huge attendances as has our Operation Transformation walk and weight loss project which will be rolled out again in the New Year. WE have created many great partnerships with local business’s including Limerick Sports Partnership, the HSE and Dooradoyle Men’s Shed to name but a few, all of whom are working together to make our community a Healthy Community.
