2008

Support was secured from the Health Services Executive Traveller Health Unit, Tullamore Wider Options and the Offaly Vocational Education Committee to deliver a physical activity tutor training programme for members of the Traveller community in Offaly.

 Seven trainees completed the programme and it is hoped that all tutors will be employed on a part time basis over three years to deliver sport and physical activity programmes to the wider community of Travellers in the county through a Pobal funded Community Services Programme.

A technical support grant to develop a three year business plan was secured from Pobal, and this business plan was submitted in October 2008.
