The Athlone branch of Down Syndrome Ireland is a small branch of just under 20 members from the local and surrounding areas. During the year we organise and subsidise various activities such as speech therapy, horse riding, Rinka (exercise through fun for younger kids), Zumba dance classes for teenagers and adults, art, music and drama. Some members are involved in the Special Olympics swimming with training taking place locally. During the year we have a summer outing, a Christmas party and attend a local drama show. We are always open to new ideas on activities that would benefit our kids or adults.
The Athlone branch provides support, hosts events and run activities for members of all ages in the local area.
