All are welcome - you don't have to be a Kilcullen GAA club member to join us! 🏃🏻‍♂️

In addition, the 'MyLife/GAA Healthy Clubs - Every Step Counts Challenge 2025' is kicking off next week.

The Every Step Counts Challenge is a virtual challenge, and is ideal for Kilcullen GAA, its members & the wider community to get involved with.

The aim this year is to reach 4,000km target - roughly the distance around Ireland! By entering and reaching/beating targets, the club could gain a €2,500 donation!

We are aiming to finish in the top 5 this year with over 200 participants and break 40,000 steps. To join the challenge, follow the steps below :

Our Priority Areas

Physical Activity

Physical activity is very important for keeping our bodies and minds healthy. Exercise helps make our muscles stronger, keeps our hearts healthy, and gives us more energy. It also helps us feel happier, less stressed, and more relaxed. Being active can improve our sleep, make us feel good about ourselves, and help us think more clearly. It’s a simple way to take care of our health and feel better every day.

Mental fitness is just as important as physical health for living a happy and balanced life. Taking care of our mental health helps us handle stress, think clearly, and build strong relationships. Talking openly about mental health breaks down stigma and makes it easier for people to ask for help when they need it. By supporting and listening to others, we create a safe space where everyone feels valued and understood. Small acts of kindness and understanding can make a big difference in helping others feel less alone.

Mental Fitness

Awareness of substance use and gambling is crucial for recognising their impact on our lives and those around us. Open conversations about these challenges help reduce stigma, making it easier for people to ask for help. It’s important to support others during difficult times by listening without judgment and offering encouragement. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and together we can create a safe and understanding environment where people feel empowered to make positive changes and find the support they need.

Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are essential for building a world where everyone feels valued and respected. Embracing our differences—whether in culture, background, abilities, or beliefs—helps us learn from one another and grow together. When we accept and celebrate what makes each person unique, we create stronger, more creative, and more compassionate communities. Inclusion ensures that everyone has a chance to contribute and belong, making the world and our community a better place for all.

Substance Use, Gambling & Addictions

Community Development

Community is vital for connection, support, and growth. By getting involved, we build relationships, solve problems together, and create a sense of belonging. When we strive to maintain high standards and continually seek improvement, we inspire others and make our community stronger and more resilient. Every effort, big or small, helps shape a positive environment where everyone can thrive and work toward a better future.

Healthy eating is important for keeping our bodies and minds strong and happy. Eating a balanced diet gives us the nutrients we need to grow, have energy, and stay healthy. It helps our bodies fight off sickness and keeps our hearts, bones, and muscles working well. Healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains also help our brains, improving focus, memory, and mood. Choosing good food is a simple way to feel better inside and out.

More about
Healthy Club at Kilcullen GAA

Healthy Club at Kilcullen GAA is based on best national & international practise. Our aim is to embed a healthy philosophy in our club while integrating healthy practices into the day-to-day activities within our club. We also aim to place our GAA club at the #HEARTOFTHECOMMUNITY making our club a beacon for health within our community.

The Healthy Club project aims to transform clubs into hubs for health within their communities. GAA clubs already contribute to the health and well-being of their members by providing opportunities to develop their physical, social, emotional, and psychological health. The HCP aims to help GAA clubs identify what they are already doing well, identify areas where they can or would like to improve and empower them to ensure that everyone who engages with their club benefits from the experience in a health-enhancing way, be they players, officers, coaches, parents, supporters, or members of their local community. The ultimate aim of the project is to involve every GAA club in the country, thus enhancing the long-term health of every community in the 32 counties and ensuring a healthier future for everyone.
