The executive committee are delighted to announce that Smith O'Briens has been accepted onto the GAA/Camogie/LGFA green clubs program!

The Green Club Program was established to support Gaelic Games clubs in taking simple and effective sustainability action in their grounds and activities. The Program is structured around the themes of Energy, Water, Waste, Biodiversity and Travel & Transport and is designed to promote sustainability awareness and action in clubs and communities.

The GAA Green Club Toolkit was launched in December 2022. It contains resources, advice and guidance, tailored especially for GAA clubs and members, in the areas of Energy, Water, Waste, Biodiversity and Travel & Transport. The Toolkit also contains inspiring, practical case studies from Green Clubs from across the island of Ireland.

We now need to establish a Green Team to help us achieve these steps and drive this initiative onwards. Advantages and benefits are

-Invitation to an Orientation Event in Croke Park on Sat March 4th
- Invitation to a series of Theme specific webinars with expert partners
- Seed funding for agreed project actions

So whether you are a player, general member, parent or coach and have an interest in sustainability, improving the environmental impact of the club, saving on running costs via renewable energy etc please reach out to be involved via email
