For 25 years, Laois Sports Partnership has been at the heart of sport, physical activity and community wellbeing across County Laois. What began as a vision to create more opportunities for people to be active has grown into one of Ireland’s leading Local Sports Partnerships, helping thousands of people of all ages and abilities discover the joy, benefits and connections that come from being active.
Since its establishment in 2001 and the formation of its board in 2002, Laois Sports Partnership has worked with communities, clubs, schools, volunteers and local organisations to remove barriers and open doors to participation. From children’s programmes and women’s initiatives to disability inclusion, older adult activities and community wellbeing projects, our focus has always remained the same: Everybody Active in County Laois.

Laois Sports Partnership is a leader in local sports development in Ireland and is one of the founding partnerships. Laois County Council identified the need for a Local Sports Partnership for Laois in 2001 and an inter-agency partnership was established to develop a submission to Sport Ireland, then the Irish Sports Council. The board of Laois Sports Partnership was established in May 2002 and has since met on a bimonthly basis to address the operational and strategic oversight of sport, recreation and physical activity in the county. The Partnership is supported in its work by a Board of Management with a broad spectrum of representative groups on the board.
