The Ladies Gaelic Football Association and its official retail partner, Lidl Ireland, are delighted to announce the list of clubs who will participate in the new #SeriousSupport Club Programme – aimed at supporting youth mental health. 
Clubs from 18 counties have been selected, with the emphasis on making a significant difference in local communities by providing a safe and positive space for community members to share and engage. 
Tipperary will be represented by the Cahir club.
All four provinces are represented in the list of 19 clubs, with this new programme set to make a meaningful nationwide impact. 
The initiative will base itself around the ‘five a day’ approach for mental health, utilising the five key themes of ‘connect’, ‘be active’, ‘take notice’, ‘keep learning’ and ‘give.’ 
The Lidl #SeriousSupport Club Programme aims to raise awareness and improve understanding of mental health while empowering clubs to positively affect their members and communities.
The programme is already underway and will run through to November. 
Participating clubs are encouraged to undertake various activities, to capture special moments and share them on their social media accounts using the hashtag #SeriousSupportClub, while also logging them on the dedicated Lidl #SeriousSupport Club portal, where further resources and help are provided.
Clubs completing all five steps in the programme will receive official Lidl #SeriousSupport Club accreditation, as well as new jerseys for their club. Accredited clubs will also enter the running to win one of three funding awards available with a total value of €10,000. They will be awarded to the clubs selected by the judging panel to have demonstrated the following:
  • Most Innovative Initiative – €2,500
  • Strongest Community Involvement – €2,500
  • Best Overall Programme Engagement – €5,000
