ABOUT US


WHAT IS THE ABBEYLEIX VITALITY HUB?

The Abbeyleix Vitality Hub will be a collection of progressive sports clubs and
other local organisations that will continue to work together to improve sport
and physical activity awareness and opportunities in their local community.

The Hub will provide information, support and advice on a wide range of sports
and physical activities to make it easier for people in disadvantaged areas to
engage in a more active lifestyle. The hub will continue to develop and
strengthen linkages between the community, sports clubs and other physical
activity groups.

Abbeyleix Vitality Hub will be a site-based Hub providing training &
opportunities for the wider Abbeyleix area to participate in sport & physical
activities along with wellness activities. The Hub will be supported by a number
of partners in the Abbeyleix area, many already active on the facility.
Laois Sports Partnership, who have had the positive experience of supporting
other Community Hubs in the county, will oversee & support the Hub & its
partners to put a sustainable structure in place.

The following are a sample of the programmes and initiatives facilitated in the
Hub:

 * Coaching opportunities and coach development/pathway programmes
 * Disability Awareness Training / Disability Inclusion Training for coaches and
   leaders
 * Programmes targeted at older people (active living, ‘Go for Life’)
 * Programmes targeted at disadvantaged youth
 * Programmes targeted at people with physical and intellectual disabilities.
 * Social sports and recreation programmes for women and for men.
 * Programmes focused on young women and girls that target reducing the drop out
   in sport and physical activity in adolescent girls.
 * Programmes focused on nutrition and well-being
 * Online Information Hub on dedicated Hub social media platforms


WHY HAS THIS PROJECT BEEN ESTABLISHED?

There is huge potential to develop the opportunities for sports and physical
activities & wellness activities at the Hub site given its long history of
providing a unique multi use, co-location facility for public recreation, sport
activities in the area.

The need for a Hub of this type has been identified and put forward as a
recommendation in the Fr. Breen Park Smart Development Plan. It is based on the
results of the consultation process, desk research and review of other
multi-purpose sports facilities and community hubs elsewhere across the Country.





Laois Sports Partnership are providing support and funding over the next 5 years
for this project.


WHEN WILL THE INITIATIVE BE IMPLEMENTED?

The Abbeyleix Vitality Hub and a management team were established in 2024. The
management team report to the Abbeyleix Park Development Committee. Pending the
recruitment of a part-time co-ordinator, key activities will commence from March
2024 onwards.

The Abbeyleix Vitality Hub will be a collection of progressive sports clubs and
other local organisations that will continue to work together to improve sport
and physical activity awareness and opportunities in their local community.
