“This is a testament to the incredible committee, coaches and athletes that are involved in the club, working so hard every single day of the week – volunteering with just the love of their community and the love of their club.
“Glenmore A.C. is leading the way on inclusion and it has made incredible inroads over the past couple of years in their Athletics For All and other inclusion programmes.
“Bringing in children with additional needs, opening them up to the closely-knit but welcoming community that is Glenmore A.C., has been so important. I am so proud to be a part of this club.
