What we do:
This group was set up in 2007 by parents of children with a disability to try and get them involved in activities suitable for them.
These activities include horse riding, swimming, cinema outings, trips to GR8, gymnastsics, santa visits at Christmas, trips to pantos, visits to pet farms such as Sam Moore’s farm and Wildlife Centre in Clontibret. We also do a day at Lough Muckno Adveture Centre during the Summer holidays. We also organise Music Therapy and play clay activities from time to time. We also organise nights out for parents as it is important that the parents have a little relaxation time too. We have approximately 55 members. It costs €20 for membership
