The programme aims to increase awareness and knowledge of mental health
Lidl Ireland have announced the 26 clubs participating in the 2023 One Good Club youth mental health awareness programme.
The first theme of the programme, Be Active, began yesterday, Monday.
Tipperary will be represented by Rosegreen.
One Good Club is a five-step youth mental health awareness programme for local clubs, developed in partnership with the Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) and Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health.
The programme aims to increase awareness and knowledge of mental health and provides clubs with the tools to support their members and wider communities by engaging in activities that promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
Each participating club will be given training and advice on how to run a successful programme via webinars delivered by the LGFA, Jigsaw and Lidl Ireland, and through resources provided on the dedicated One Good Club portal.
Clubs will also receive a set of Lidl One Good Club branded jerseys, tickets to the Lidl National Football League finals and be in with a chance to win one of three cash awards that will reward the following; Most Innovative Initiative (€2,500), Strongest Community Involvement (€2,500) and Best Overall Programme (€5,000).
First piloted in 2019, the One Good Club programme forms part of Lidl’s continued investment in their relationship with the LGFA, which was extended in 2022 for another four years, with a commitment to invest €10 million over the 10 years of the partnership.
The programme runs over 10 consecutive weeks and is split into five themes based on the 5-a-day for your mental health framework – Be Active, Take Notice, Connect, Give and Keep Learning.
