The summer may be well underway, but there's still plenty to look forward to with All Abilities Ireland.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be bringing a wide range of inclusive activities to families across Portlaoise, Mountmellick, Tullamore and other community venues. Every event is designed to create welcoming, supportive spaces where children, young people and families can learn, play, create and connect.

Upcoming events include Messy Play, Jewellery Making, Dance Classes and many more welcoming activities designed to encourage creativity, confidence, friendship and self-expression in safe, inclusive spaces.

Many of our events are especially suitable for neurodivergent children and young people, while remaining open and welcoming to everyone. Whether your child loves sensory play, arts and crafts, movement, music or simply meeting new friends, we would love to welcome you.

Alongside our creative workshops, families are also invited to take part in our Kids Costume Donation events in Portlaoise Library (30 July) and Tullamore Library (6 August), helping costumes find a new home while making imaginative play more accessible for everyone.

And don't forget — everything is building towards the NeuroArt Family Festival on Saturday 22 August in Portlaoise, where many of our activities, performers and community partners will come together for a day of creativity, inclusion and celebration.
