parkHIIT Funding Opportunity – The 2026 Expansion Project

Can you help take parkHIIT from our 7 current locations to 10 active Dublin sites by the end of 2026?

parkHIIT is a growing social enterprise providing free, community-based outdoor resistance training in Dublin. We bring people together through the joy of free resistance training — supporting individual wellbeing while strengthening community connection. Both the WHO and Healthy Ireland’s Every Move Counts guidelines recommend that adults complete at least two resistance sessions per week; part of our mission is to promote this and highlight the importance of strength training, especially as we age. Our goal is simple: to make strength training accessible to every county, every community, and every person.To scale sustainably, our priority for 2026 is to secure funding for a CEO who will lead the expansion from our 7 existing sites to 10 active parkHIIT locations across Dublin by December 2026.

The 2026 parkHIIT Expansion Project

Goal: Grow parkHIIT to 10 Dublin locations by year-end 2026
Lead: Newly appointed CEO

Focus Areas:

• Recruitment and training of new volunteer leaders
• Community partnership development
• Programme delivery and quality assurance
• Impact measurement and evaluation
• Laying the groundwork for national expansion from 2027 onward

This project is a strategic building block for parkHIIT’s long-term vision of expanding across Dublin and, ultimately, nationwide.

Call to Action – Ways to Support

We are actively seeking partners who can help us secure funding for a CEO and support the 2026 expansion. This can take several forms:

• CSR / ESG investment in community health, physical activity, or social connection
• Corporate secondment of a senior leader into the CEO role for a defined period
• Community or government grant funding aligned to health promotion, inclusion, or local engagement
• Philanthropic or foundation support for grassroots wellbeing initiatives

If you or your organisation are committed to community health, accessibility, or social impact, we would love to speak with you.

Together, we can bring the joy and accessibility of free resistance training to even more communities across Ireland.
