Dublin club, St Mark's receives top Award!


Lidl Ireland have recognised clubs from Dublin, Kilkenny and Leitrim with prestigious awards as part of the retailer’s Lidl One Good Club  mental health and wellbeing programme.  


St Mark’s from Tallaght in Dublin have claimed top honours in the Best Overall Programme Engagement award, the overall award for the club judged to have delivered the best programme for their club over the course of 10 weeks. 


St Mark’s hosted many events as part of their involvement in the programme, most notably their community festival, Suburban Picnic, and are now set to receive €5,000 in funding as a result of their efforts.


Lidl One Good Club™ is a five-step youth mental health awareness programme for local clubs, developed in partnership with the LGFA and Jigsaw – The National Centre for Youth Mental Health, which aims to raise awareness and improve understanding of mental health while empowering LGFA clubs to positively affect their members and communities. 


The 5 steps are based on Jigsaw’s 5-a-day for your mental health framework that provides a simple set of evidence-based actions for people to improve their wellbeing. The 5 steps are; Be Active, Take Notice, Give, Keep Learning, and Connect.  


The programme offers clubs from every county the opportunity to support their members and local communities by engaging in activities that promote positive mental health and wellbeing. 


This year’s programme culminated on All-Ireland Final day when groups from every participating club came to Croke Park and a representative from each club was presented with their Lidl One Good Club accreditation plaque on the hallowed turf during half time of the senior final between Meath and Kerry.
