The Down Syndrome Ireland – Galway Branch supports a vibrant community of over 300 members of all ages across Galway city and county.
As a voluntary, parent-led organisation, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with Down syndrome and their families through support, information, and connection.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome by promoting:
- Respect
- Acceptance
- Inclusion
- Opportunities in all areas of community life
We recognise the importance of early intervention, strong communication skills, and ongoing support at every stage of life—from infancy through to adulthood.
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to creating opportunities for social connection, personal growth, and a sense of belonging.
Together, we are building a more inclusive Galway—where every member is supported, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive.
