Sport Ireland launched the new ESF+ programme, titled ‘Sport 4 Empowerment’, aimed at promoting social inclusion and empowering individuals through sport and physical activity. This initiative, co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union, is supported by an €11 million grant from the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+).

The programme will pilot and implement various initiatives to enhance the wellbeing, education, and economic prospects of participants, supporting groups at risk of social exclusion and poverty, including ethnic minorities, youth at risk, persons with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. This project exemplifies the commitment of both the Government of Ireland and the European Union to promoting social inclusion through sport.
