Mayo County Council, in partnership with Mayo Sports Partnership, is leading on the development of a Local Sports Plan for the County. This plan reflects our commitment Under Action 8 of National Sports Policy 2018-27. The following survey provides an opportunity for all people across the County, regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, ability or location to help us to develop a Plan which reflects your aspirations and requirements for sports and physical activity.
This is part of a wider consultation process which will also include public information sessions held in each Municipal District across the County in October. Details of these public events will be advertised through Mayo County Council and Mayo Sports Partnership in due course.
By 'sport' we mean all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aims at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental wellbeing, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels. This means our plan will consider all forms of recognised sport and physical activity (recreational and competitive) from exercise and fitness, playing sports, walking, dancing and cycling to structured participation in schools and clubs.
In order to find better ways for us to work together, both internally and with our partners, we are asking stakeholders across County Mayo to contribute to this consultation process.
Participating in the survey
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary. If you decide to answer the questions you can still change your mind. You can stop at any time and your responses will remain entirely anonymous. We are primarily seeking to ascertain the current level of activity across Mayo as well as your views on the quantity and quality of sports facilities, barriers to participation, the level of resilience within the sector and areas for development and/or support that you would like to see prioritised in this plan.
The full survey should take between 10-15 minutes to complete, depending on the level of information you provide.
What we do with the information you provide
Information is gathered via this survey for the purposes of informing the development of the Mayo Local Sports Plan only, information will not be used in conjunction with any other purpose. If you feel there are other questions or information that would help us please add at the end of the survey.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. We greatly appreciate your input.
