To influence policy and practice within the club in order to prioritise children’s needs.
To provide an accessible resource to children through the creation of forums.

Mastering Midlife for Women
Exercise, Nutrition & Menopause
We all know the benefits of exercise & nutrition for maintaining life-long health but for Midlife Women, hormonal change can sometimes make it difficult to continue with our normal routines. The two big questions are “Why has exercise become so hard” and “Why have I gained weight?”
There is no one answer to this question, this answer lies in figuring out our menopause jigsaw of HRT (optional), specific exercise, specific nutrition and self-care. When all the pieces in the jigsaw join that is where the magic happens, and we get back to feeling like ourselves again.
Mastering Midlife for Women workshop is a 4-hour online workshop taking place over 2 evenings Tuesday 28th March and Tuesday 4th April form 7pm-9pm. It is ideal for all women from 35+ years, who are wondering how peri-menopause and menopause is affecting them mentally and physically and how making small changes could increase energy levels, improve sleep, improve moods and decrease weight gain. Cost of 4 hour workshop is €20 – places are limited so early booking is advised.

Safeguarding 2 Club Children's Officer Workshop (FULLY BOOKED)
2023-02-23 18:30 - 21:30 | Zoom Online
Recommendations from Sport Ireland are that every club involved with children and young people should appoint a Club Children’s Officer. This person should be child centered in focus and should have as their primary aim the establishment of a child centered ethos within the club. They are the link between the children and the adults in the club and also take responsibility for monitoring and reporting to the Club Management Committee on how club policy etc. impacts on children and their Sports Leaders.
The Club Children’s Officer should have the following functions:

To promote awareness of the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport in Ireland within the club and particularly among the children and their parents/guardians. This could be achieved by the production of information leaflets, the establishment of children’s/age-group specific notice boards and by regular information meetings for the children and their parents/guardians.
To influence policy and practice within the club in order to prioritise children’s needs.
To provide an accessible resource to children through the creation of forums.

It is essential that those who wish to attend the Safeguarding 2 Club Children’s Officer (CCO) Training have attended the Safeguarding 1 Awareness/Child Protection Training workshop.
It is recommended to have at least one Club Children’s Officer per club or if there is a large number of both boys and girls in the club, to have two Club Children’s Officers – one male and one female.
Cost: The cost for this course is €20 per person for clubs in Meath, for participants outside Meath the cost is €30 per person.
How to book: This course is now full. To put your name on the waiting list call 0469067887 or email lynn.oreilly@meathcoco.ie
