What It Meant to Our Families
At the very first Autism Friendly Relaxed Family Area in Dungarvan, the impact was immediate and heartfelt. Families shared how much it meant to them to be included, supported, and celebrated on the day.
"A strong visual representation of our community."
"Today we celebrated our children when everything is usually a fight."
"Thank you for making our dreams a reality today."
We’re humbled, proud, and excited for the future. Together, we’ve created something truly special for our community.
