What We Do
Special Olympics transforms lives through sport.
We are a year-round sports organisation for people with an intellectual disability, starting from age 4 with no upper limit. Today, we support over 7,000 athletes across Ireland to participate in 15 sports through inclusive sports training programmes.
Through our sports, health and leadership programmes, our athletes learn to be physically, mentally and emotionally fit. They gain new skills, increase their confidence and, most importantly, experience the joy of sport and make lifelong friendships.
None of this would be possible without the incredible dedication of our volunteers, clubs, and partners who power everything we do.
