As part of this year’s Ireland Active Conference and National Quality Standard (NQS) Awards, we are now accepting applications for two sector-focused honours that celebrate excellence and impact across the leisure, health and fitness industry.

This award recognises facilities that have taken meaningful steps toward environmental and social sustainability. Examples include:
- Reducing environmental footprints (e.g. energy, water, waste)
- Adopting sustainable or renewable technologies

Whether your facility has launched a major sustainability campaign or introduced smaller impactful measures, we want to hear from you.

This award honours members who have actively engaged their local community through inclusive and impactful physical activity programmes. This could involve:
- Outreach to minority or underserved groups
- Active ageing or youth participation programmes

We are proud to recognise initiatives that promote inclusion and make physical activity more accessible to all.
