Give hula hooping a try this summer to raise money for a great Irish charity

JOE

Brought to you by Hula Hoops.

It’s time to get hooping.

We were hula hooping whiz kids back in the day. Now we’ve got the chance to relive our favourite past time while also raising money for one of Irelands leading charities. It’s a win-win really.

Hula Hoops are supporting the wonderful Spinal Injuries Ireland charity this summer as part of their #GetHooping campaign. Hula Hoops is giving the charity a contribution for everyone who hoops this summer and you could help out by doing your bit for a good cause.

Easy peasy!

You may have seen the Hula Hoop girls popping up around Ireland this summer as part of their The Fun Never Grows Uptour which is bringing a carnival atmosphere, with plenty of colour, noise, prizes and fun to festivals and events around the country.

Next up on the Hula Hoops calendar is some colourful on-street activity in Galway on the 14th July at Spanish Arch, from there Hula Hoops will be at one of Ireland’s biggest festivals this weekend as well as having an exciting activation at this year’s Indiependence Festival from 29th – 31st July in Cork!

So if you’re in the area keep your eyes peeled because it’s not something you’re going to want to miss. Just check out those hooping skills! It actually looks like great craic.


The Fun Never Grows Up tour is raising money for Spinal Injuries Ireland,  the only support and service agency in the country for people who have sustained a spinal cord injury.

The charity’s mission is to engage with people with spinal cord injuries and their families to address barriers to full participation in society and to empower members to work towards achieving personal, social and vocational goals.

So pop along to show your support for a great cause, even if your hooping skills aren’t up to much it’s the thought that counts eh?

You can also show your support by texting “CORD” to 50300 to donate €4 to Spinal Injuries Ireland.

Get Hooping and share your pics with the hashtag #GetHooping with the Hula Hoop Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages.

Happy hooping folks!
