About Us

Remember Us provides a unique social outlet to people with special needs and their families in the North Fingal region. Although based in Balbriggan, our members come from areas such as Santry, Clontarf, Swords, Malahide, Portmarnock, Lusk, Rush, Skerries, Balbriggan, Bettystown, Ashbourne, Drogheda etc. It is the families that are the members; this means that not only the individual with special needs benefits from our group but their parents/carers and siblings too.

Our Aims are

  • To provide an integrated social environment for people with special needs where they can learn, form friendships, and above all have fun.
  • To Develop their social and life skills, self-esteem and quality of life
  • To help combat the feeling of isolation and help them to integrate into the community.
  • To provide support and information for our parents, carers and siblings

Our Families describe Remember Us as their LIFELINE, as having a child/adult with special needs can be very isolating,
not only for the individual concerned but, for the family as a whole.
