New awards to honoour the people who volunteer in sports clubs on a weekly basis

Louth Local Sports Partnership has launched the first ever ‘Sports Club’ volunteer of Year Awards 2023, to recognise and honour the huge community of volunteers across Co. Louth who give their time to provide sport and physical activity opportunities across the County.

More than 450,000 people across Ireland volunteer in sports clubs on a weekly basis ensuring opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity are provided in every community.

Without them there would be no teams coached, no pitches lined, no matches played or races run. They are there to support sporting clubs and communities from early morning to late at night without any expectation of recognition or reward.

Louth Local Sports Partnership is hosting this Awards ceremony to recognise and honour these people. The awards ceremony will take place on Monday November 6th in the Carrickdale Hotel.

One volunteer from every club in Louth will be honoured at the awards ceremony.

Each sports club in Louth can select their club volunteer of the year from their club who they feel should be recognised and celebrated for their contribution to providing sporting opportunities within their local community.

Application forms can be requested via email by contacting Louth Local Sports Partnership at Louthlsp@louthcoco.ie

Closing date for nominations is Wednesday 11th October 2023 at 5.00 pm.
