Active Inishowen

The Active Inishowen Project is funded through the Dormant Accounts Fund. Managed nationally by Sport Ireland and locally by Donegal Sports Partnership and Inishowen Development Partnership. This 5-year investment is dedicated to enhancing walking & cycling opportunities in Inishowen.

 

The Active Inishowen Project is a community-driven initiative designed to increase participation in walking and cycling across the Inishowen Peninsula. Led by Inishowen Development Partnership in collaboration with Donegal Sports Partnership, the project works closely with local communities to improve access to outdoor recreation, develop new walking and cycling opportunities, and support people of all abilities in leading active lifestyles.

 

Through trail development, leadership training, and community engagement, the project aims to break down barriers to participation while creating a lasting impact on health, wellbeing, and outdoor recreation in the region.

As part of the Active Inishowen project a number of local community groups and individuals took part in Low Land Leader training.              We have also established a Walking Football Group in Greencastle and carried out consultation with the community as a whole.
