Down Syndrome Dublin runs many social events during the year for all members from our baby groups up to our adult member discos. As well as social activities we also hold educational classes, summer camps and events for all the family. Events are subsidised through our local branch fundraising activities.
Please contact us if you would like to run an event for our members, the committee are always happy to hear suggestions for events and classes.
To keep up to date with upcoming events, please make sure you renew your membership for 2024 so we can keep you updated via email. We will also post news and events on our social media pages.
A very popular group with our primary school members is our Fun With Numbers group. In 2023 we were back in Le Chéile in Donnycarney.
Everyone has fun while learning counting, addition and subtraction. The groups even put their skills to the test with a lunch out at a local restaurant and selling Christmas decorations at their local Special Olympics club.
If you are interested in attending this group in 2024 please contact us and let us know.
In 2022 we piloted a new Bowling group in Leisure Plex in Tallaght. The pilot was a huge success and the group is now a regular fixture. Meeting on Tuesday evenings. Some great friendships are being made and some very serious bowling is taking place. Even Santa paid the group a visit in December.
If you are interested in attending this group in 2024 please contact us and let us know.
This has long been our most popular class and is a mixture of Art, Dance and Drama in a fun atmosphere with friends.
The class takes place on Saturdays in the Carmelite Centre, Dublin 2
We organise social events for our adult members, with our very popular Dinner & Discos taking place in 2023.
