COUNTY Limerick’s Martin Casey was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award at the 2024 Volunteers in Sport Awards, from the Federation of Irish Sport.
Martin’s journey with Limerick Sports Partnership began in school through the Voluntary Inspired Participation programme, where he gained coaching qualifications and contributed 100 volunteer hours.
With Limerick Sports Partnership’s support, he later obtained coaching and gym instructor certifications, giving back an additional 50 volunteer hours.
Over the past four years, Martin has been instrumental in leading initiatives that expand access to sport and physical activity.
His work with the Travelling community, including a mid-term camp that engaged 46 children from Limerick City halting sites, has significantly boosted participation.
He also played a key role in developing and delivering the women’s self-defence programme.
