The Blessington Allotments Campaign and Blessington Tourist Office recently launched SustainabilityPlan.ie, which is a free online resource for schools, community groups, sports clubs and businesses to create their own bespoke sustainability plan.
Two community organisations in Blessington are working together to launch a new website encouraging communities throughout Ireland to create their own bespoke sustainability plans for free.
Building on their previous successful partnerships and extensive experience with joint sustainability projects, the Blessington Tourist Office and Blessington Allotments Campaign formally launched SustainabilityPlan.ie in August 2026.
SustainabilityPlan.ie enables any small business, community group, sports club or school to benchmark their current sustainability performance, set measurable targets over the next five years, and plan how they will make further progress. Completing a sustainability plan provides a clear roadmap to reduce waste, cut emissions, improve biodiversity, and could be beneficial for future funding applications.
In recent years, the Blessington Tourist Office and Blessington Allotments Campaign have completed numerous projects both together and individually, related to waste and emissions reduction, and supporting and promoting biodiversity in the local area. In 2026 the two groups worked together to organise free electrical recycling events in Blessington that collected almost 10 tonnes of e-waste in total. These projects and the positive response and support from the local community inspired and informed the development of SustainabilityPlan.ie and a want to encourage and make it easier for other groups to take similar sustainability actions.
