Allianz have been supporting communities in Ireland for over 100 years.
They have been a proud partner of the GAA for over 30 years, longest supporter of Para sport in Ireland through their partnership with Paralympics Ireland of over 10 years, the Olympic Federation of Ireland since 2021 and the Camogie Association since 2022. Through their partnerships, they’ve seen the positive impact sport can have on the lives of anyone, at any age, but particularly for children and young people.
However, while sport is a part of our national DNA, 1 in 5 children stop participating in sport at the transition from primary to secondary school. As the largest insurer of schools in Ireland, insuring over 500,000 children, they want to play a part in stopping the drop in participation through their awareness campaign #StopTheDrop.
They support the children of Ireland through Allianz Cumann na mBunscol , GAA Go Games, Allianz Post Primary Competition, Camán 2 Croker and the Sport Ireland Campus Kids Camps. Through their many partnerships, they enable over 60,000 children annually to engage with sport at national grassroots level. They’re working to be part of the solution that ensures young people from all backgrounds get active and stay active for life.
Coaches, teachers and parents play a vital role in the lives of young people. Their support and encouragement can make all the difference when it comes to a young person choosing to stay in sport or to drop out.
In support of this, 6th class recently were presented with a unique #StopTheDrop jersey from Sciath na Scol and Ms. O'Regan. It is the hope that 6th class will become advocates for this campaign throughout Ballinora and further afield.
Maith sibh.
