Meetingplace arch club

The meetingplace club is affiliated with the Arch federation of Ireland and we provide friendship clubs and social inclusion opportunities for all ages and forms of disabilities. We were set up in 2010 and affiliated in 2012 . Our aim is to provide opportunities and develop projects to enhance the life of the disabled community. We also offer training opportunities to help mental health and wellness and encourage nature as a means of wellness and social interaction. Our group s are run by volunteers who have experience in the disabled community and are the best social action to bring about social change. Their first hand experiences are the most valuable toolkit and our special needs club best resource. We are continuing to build on our narrative s to highlight how important the need to understand and unite together towards a common vision. 
we have worked with DCC Finglas Ballymun Cabra and Glasnevin and would like to extend this partnership beyond to our partners in the city centre and beyond. 
Music is the friend to keep you connected and give company at the lonely times. 
we want everyone to experience jontys special music space . Jonathan is a brother of one of our adult members. He started a band for the club as a thank you . That was 3 years ago and he has guided them to an incredible level of maturity and success.
