A new Handball Alley and Playground

Help Us Build Spaces to Play and Connect on Inis Meáin

Comhlacht Forbartha Inis Meáin is currently working on a number of important community infrastructure projects for the island.

Through the CLÁR 2025 programme, we were awarded almost €50,000 in funding to develop a new playground at the community centre (53% of the total cost). We have also recently received planning permission to build a new handball alley on the GRETB site behind the bothán of Coláiste Naomh Eoin. We have now began seeking further funding to develop this facility.

Projects like these involve significant costs and grant funding does not cover everything. Due to this, we have launched this GoFundMe campaign to help raise the additional funds needed to bring these projects to completion.

Any support would be greatly appreciated. Your donation will help us complete these two important community projects and support the future development of new community facilities on Inis Meáin.

Inis Meáin is a close-knit island community and we are working to create safe, shared spaces for children and young people to play and connect.

Comhlacht Forbartha Inis Meáin is raising funds to create:

A community playground at the Ionad Pobail

A handball alley beside our two schools

These facilities will be open to everyone, supporting play, wellbeing and community life all year round.

For our island, this is more than just infrastructure - it’s an investment in our children, our culture and our future.

Every donation helps us create a place where people can gather, stay active and grow together.

Support us in building a stronger, more connected Inis Meáin.

Tá Comhlacht Forbartha Inis Meáin ag obair faoi láthair ar roinnt tionscnamh bonneagair phobail tábhachtach don oileán.

Tríd an scéim CLÁR 2025, bronnadh beagnach €50,000 i maoiniú orainn chun clós súgartha nua a fhorbairt ag an Ionad Pobail (53% den chostas iomlán). Fuaireamar cead pleanála le déanaí freisin chun Cúirt Liathróid Láimhe nua a thógáil ar shuíomh an GRETB taobh thiar de bhothán na meánscoile. Thosaigh muid anois ag cur isteach ar mhaoiniú breise chun an tionscnamh seo a fhorbairt.

Tá costais shuntasacha ag baint le tionscnamh mar seo agus ní chlúdaíonn maoiniú deontais chuile rud. Dá bhrí sin, sheolamar an feachtas GoFundMe seo chun cabhrú leis an t-airgead breise a theastaíonn a bhailiú chun na tionscnamh seo a thabhairt chun críche.

Bheimis ana-bhuíoch d’​​​​aon tacaíocht, is cuma beag nó mór. Cabhróidh do shíntiús linn an dá thionscnamh pobail thábhachtacha seo a chur i gcrích agus tacú le forbairt áiseanna pobail nua ar Inis Meáin amach anseo.

Is pobal láidir oileánda é Inis Meáin agus táimid ag obair chun spásanna sábháilte a chruthú do ghasúir agus do dhaoine óga le súgradh agus nascadh le chéile.

Tá Comhlacht Forbartha Inis Meáin ag bailiú airgid chun:

Clós Súgartha a thógáil ag an Ionad Pobail

Cúirt Liathróid Láimhe a fhorbairt in aice lenár dhá scoil

Beidh na háiseanna seo ar oscailt do chuile dhuine, ag tacú le súgradh, folláine agus saol an phobail i gcaitheamh na bliana.

I gcás ár n-oileán, ní díreach infrastruchtúr atá i gceist - is infheistíocht é inár ngasúir, inár gcultúr agus inár dtodhchaí.

Cuidíonn gach síntiús linn áit a chruthú inar féidir le daoine teacht le chéile, fanacht gníomhach agus fás le chéile.

Le chéile, is féidir linn pobal níos láidre agus níos gníomhaí a chothú ar Inis Meáin.
