Fórsa is extremely proud to support the ‘Let Them Play’ campaign, a nationwide drive to get vital GAA equipment to children and volunteer coaches in five clubs in the West Bank. 

For the next three weeks, our Dublin office (Nerney’s Court, D01 R2C5) will serve as an official drop-off point for donations for the GAA Palestine nationwide drive. 

A 20ft container has been secured by GAA Palestine in Athy, Co. Kildare. We now need your help to fill it to the brim before it sets off for Palestine. 

Fórsa national secretary Richy Carrothers said: “We’re so proud to stand with the volunteers of GAA Palestine who are working to make sure children in the West Bank have the chance to play.” 

“Earlier efforts to send equipment were turned back, which was a huge setback, but that has only strengthened the determination of everyone involved to get this over the line this time. By donating equipment, our members and communities can help send a message of solidarity and hope. These efforts are about showing young people that even in the most difficult circumstances, they are not forgotten.” 

We’re asking members, branches and activists to donate new GAA equipment, including: 

• Hurls 
• Helmets 
• Sliotars 
• Gumshields 
• Training gear 
• Kids’ kits and club gear 

If you’re unsure what to donate, or would prefer to make a financial contribution instead, you can contact GAA Palestine here.

Please spread the word in your branch, your club and your community and help us make sure that children in Palestine get the chance to play.  

Starting from today, members can drop donations to the Fórsa Dublin office right up until Tuesday, 31st March. Please note, our office reception is open from 8.30am-8pm Monday to Friday, and 9am-5pm Saturday, to collect the donations. 

Lig dóibh imirt.
