We are delighted to be partnering with Sporting Pride to develop this pilot project for County Clare. This free 1.5hour training will allow clubs to become a more welcoming place from their members that are from the LGBTQ+ community. There are 2 training options – In person on Wednesday 30th April at 7pm or Online Wednesday 7th May at 7pm. All clubs that sign up could win €250! The ideal commitment is for 2 members of your club to attend, but we do realise that this may be difficult with the time of year that is in it.
What is an LGBTQ+ Advocate?
You don’t need to be an expert to be an advocate—just someone who cares. Advocates will learn how to:
- Speak up against discriminatory language.
- Support LGBTQ+ members and teammates.
- Encourage inclusive club policies and practices.
- Be a safe and supportive point of contact.
Participants will receive:
Free training (in-person or online)
- Ongoing support and check-ins
- Resources, posters, and toolkits
- Connection with a network of advocates across Clare
