Designated by Sport Ireland in 2006, Offaly Sports Partnership is one of a network of 29 Local Sports Partnerships supported by Sport Ireland across Ireland. We are an inter-agency and multi sectorial sub group of Offaly’s Local Community Development Committee. We are hosted within the Community and Culture Section of Offaly County Council
Our remit is to achieve sustained increases in participation levels in physical activity, sport and active living in County Offaly.
Our Vision is of a county with a vibrant sports culture which is inclusive of all people.
Our Mission is to actively support inclusive measures to increase and sustain participation in sport and physical activity in County Offaly.
The Key Values which govern our work are –
- Inclusion – we seek to be people-centred in our work in order to ensure that our interventions are both responsive to, and accepted by the maximum number of people that we target
- Partnership – we seek to collaborate in partnership with all stakeholders committed to increasing participation; and with the wider community in order to maximize impacts for our county
- Respect – we will be respectful of all people with whom we work, for the advancement of our goals
- Acknowledgement – we recognise and acknowledge that the task of maintaining and increasing participation levels in sport within our county is huge and is something that we cannot do alone. We are therefore very appreciative of the efforts of all volunteers and organisations that contribute to this – equality We are committed to a culture of equality to advance participation opportunities for all, in line with our equality statement
- Environment – we will conduct our operations in the most climate and biodiversity friendly manner possible.
