The Kyiv Gaels are growing and we need your support ☘️🌻

Whether you’ve been with the club since day one or you’ve only just found us, we’d really appreciate any donations you can spare as we invest in the future of GAA in Kyiv.

We’re fundraising to:
- Invest in new training gear, kit and long-term items like goals to allow us to play on full-size pitches
- Keep covering pitch rental costs so we can train consistently year-round in all weather conditions
- Continue offering subsidised membership options
- Support community events and cultural activities that promote Irish culture here in Kyiv
- Buy specialist equipment (including sliotars and hurleys) as we work towards starting hurling training in the new year
- and loads more...

Every donation, big or small, goes directly into the club account and helps us keep building the Gaelic games community in Ukraine.
