Where to Follow Gaisce – The President's Award on Social Media

Gaisce – The President's Award points visitors to a single Linktree page that gathers its official social accounts: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. The site also names its Instagram handle, gaisceaward, and embeds an Instagram feed of recent posts. Use the Linktree page as the reliable starting point, since it is the one place the organisation itself lists all four channels together.

The official channels listed on gaisce.ie

The homepage states: "Check out our Linktree, where you can find links to our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok accounts." That gives you four platforms to follow:

The site does not publish separate profile URLs for Facebook, LinkedIn or TikTok in the text available, so the Linktree page is the safest route to the correct accounts rather than guessing a handle.

What the Instagram feed shows

The embedded feed on the homepage gives a sense of what the account posts. Recent items include:

• A post celebrating Ulster GAA's first Gold Joint Award trail
• A mention of two Gaisce Gold Awardees, Swa and another awardee
• A Challenge Partner post featuring @scifest4stem
• A post about the GAP partner Together Academy
• A reminder that "The Gaisce SUAS Bursary fund closes this Friday"
• A post following a group's multi-day walking and exploring trip
• A note about time away from the office with a painting and plants theme

The account bio reads: "Ireland's national self-development programme for young people between 14-25. Dream big and fulfil your potential!"

Using social channels for news, events and funding

If you are following Gaisce to keep up with deadlines and opportunities, the social posts act as short reminders rather than full announcements. The SUAS Bursary Fund closing-date post is an example: the social channel flags the deadline, while the detail sits in the news section of the website. For anything you need to act on — applying for a bursary, registering for an event, reading the annual report — treat the social post as the prompt and the website as the source.

The site's own news feed covers items such as the 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, the 2025 Annual Report (including an Irish-language version), the SUAS Bursary Fund 26/27 applications, the 2026 PAL Pack, a Challenge Partner Showcase, and Gaisce's return to the National Ploughing Championships 2026. Following on social will surface these, but the full posts live on gaisce.ie.

Practical steps to follow Gaisce

1. Go to gaisce.ie and find the Linktree link on the homepage.
2. Open the Linktree page and choose the platform you use most — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or TikTok.
3. On Instagram, confirm you are on gaisceaward before following, so you don't land on an unrelated account.
4. Turn on notifications for the channels where you most want deadline reminders, such as bursary closing dates.
5. Check the website's news section periodically for the full version of anything announced on social.

Common snags

• Searching by name instead of handle. On Instagram, use the handle gaisceaward rather than a general search for "Gaisce", which may return participant or partner accounts.
• Assuming social posts are complete. Posts like the bursary reminder give a date but not the application detail; follow the link back to the site.
• Expecting every platform to carry the same content. The site highlights Instagram most prominently through the embedded feed, so it is likely the most active channel, while LinkedIn serves a more organisational audience.

If your goal is simply to stay informed, following the Instagram account and checking the website news page covers most updates. If you want the full set of official channels in one place, start from the Linktree page linked on the homepage.
