View full details →Fingal Additional Needs
Fingal Additional Needs is a fun and inclusive experience for children with additional needs. Spaces are limited, so book your spot today. Location: The Band Room, Skerries. My name is David, and I started Fingal Additional Needs after leaving my previous job. Many parents asked me to continue supporting their loved ones with 1-1 outings, and as a parent of a child with ASD and ADHD, I know how valuable a break can be. For over 10 years, I've worked with children and adults with additional needs. After a successful year offering 1-1 support and two years running Football4All with Skerries Town, I introduced summer camps that were a huge success, leading to extra classes, and I've recently set up an afterschool class. My goal is to give parents and carers a well-deserved break while providing a fun and engaging environment for children. I'm not a therapist, but I focus on creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences for the kids - whether it's getting active, socialising, or just being happy in their own space, these sessions are designed with your child's needs in mind, whether they have ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, or other additional needs. You can check out some of the work I've done on Instagram and Facebook @fingaladditionalneeds.

Toddlers World brings a fun, interactive class for babies, toddlers and preschool kids, with music, songs and movement using egg shakers, maracas, handclappers, puppets, balloons, bubbles and more.

Suitable from 4 months to 4 years and beyond - some 6, 7 and 8 year olds still come back over the summer months and midterm. It's also a lovely way to connect with other mams and grandparents, for minders to bond with the child, and to create lifelong friendships. Pre-booking is essential, and spaces are limited. For more information, DM the Toddlers World Facebook group or call 0861700806 - also on Instagram if you'd like to see reviews of the classes. Runs every Wednesday in Rathcoole Community Centre, 9.30-10.45am, and every Monday, Thursday and Friday in St Jude's Pastoral Centre, Templeogue, 9.45-11am.

Babywearing Ireland Sling Meets are peer-to-peer support meetings, facilitated by volunteers who are baby wearers. Peer-to-peer support allows those who attend to help each other and share their experiences - sling meets are informal gatherings, so it's not possible for BWI volunteers to give any professional advice. Our sling meets also offer a sling library service, so if you like a particular sling, you can rent it for a small fee, take it home and try it for a month. Our sling categories are stretchy wrap, woven wrap, ring sling, mei tai, and soft structured carriers (SSC). In addition to our in-person meets, we have a national library from which slings can be rented and delivered via courier. Meet-ups are usually monthly - keep an eye on social media to find out the date of the next one.
