Active Cities

Active Cities

Sport Ireland’s Active Cities project, is funded by the dormant accounts fund & invests in sport and physical activity initiatives in Ireland’s five largest cities – Dublin, Limerick, Waterford, Cork and Galway, with the aim of creating, maintaining and increasing the numbers of citizens, regardless of age and ability, participating in sport and physical activity in their city.

The Active Cities project is based on the World Health Organisation’s GAPPA framework, which is focused on getting those who are least active, active.

The project will operate under 4 key guiding pillars:

• Active Systems
• Active Environments
• Active Societies
• Active People
