The Irish Wheelchair Association runs youth clubs for teenagers in Clontarf, Clondalkin and Bray where young people with physical disabilities can socialise and get involved in exciting projects and events.
Dave Barry, Irish Wheelchair Association Youth Worker explains “Irish Wheelchair Associations Youth Service aims to support young people aged 13 to 30 years to be active in their own development and in the development of society.
"We also run QQI-accredited life skills training for young people with physical disabilities supporting them to access further education and employment and volunteering opportunities.”
