Many of the older adults classed are ICA members

Irish people aged over 50 are more likely to be active than inactive, according to a new survey from Age & Opportunity’s Go for Life, and Sport Ireland.

ICA members are a major force in this drive for exercise, with 25% of the 300,000 Go for Life grant funding going to ICA guilds nationwide.

Over 300 ICA groups have Physical Activity Leaders (PALs) who have been trained by Go for Life to lead and organise short exercise routines, fun games, walks, dances, and a range of adapted sports.
