The Young Athletes Festival at TU Blanchardstown on Saturday 7th June was an amazing celebration of the joy of movement, community, and potential.

On May 11th, athletes from across the Leinster and Eastern regions gathered at the Clayton Hotel for a day of inspiration, learning, and celebration. The Athlete Leadership Forum kicked off with registration and a warm welcome, followed by a series of exciting and engaging workshops designed to empower and equip participants.

On Thursday March 13th, D6 Special Olympics Club hosted a Golf Skills interclub day which took place in Milltown Golf Club, making for a fantastic day for all involved.

The Killester Men’s A basketball team travelled over to Wales during the weekend of 8th-9th March to take part in a highly competitive tournament in Cardiff.

Everyone at Special Olympics Eastern Region, and Special Olympics Ireland in general, would like to express our deepest gratitude to Adam Rochford as he moves on in his career.

Volunteering in Special Olympics is fulfilling, fascinating, and fun - promising new experiences, with plenty of support available. Take a moment to read about the experience of a first-time volunteer at an Eastern Region artistic gymnastic event to see what we mean!

Congratulations to Special Olympics Eastern Region legend Louise Grant who was a shortlisted finalist for the Energia Community Award at the HerSport Awards held at UCD Astra Hall on 25th January.
