Whitehall Colmcille & Variety Ireland opened the new GAA All-Star Children’s Inclusion Campus at Whitehall Colmcille last week 🙌💙
This landmark facility is dedicated to ensuring that every child, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to participate, play, and belong.
Developed in partnership with the HSE, Dublin GAA and Whitehall Colmcille GAA Club and supported by The Department of Children, Disability & Equality and The Department of Transport, this new campus represents a significant investment in inclusive sport and recreation for thousands of children with additional needs across Dublin & County.
Designed specifically to support children of all abilities, the campus will become a weekly hub where children from every Dublin GAA All-Star Club can come together to enjoy games, friendship, physical activity, and community in a welcoming and fully accessible environment.
At the heart of the campus is a purpose-built cycling track featuring an extensive fleet of specially adapted disability bicycles, enabling children with a wide range of physical abilities to experience the freedom, confidence, and joy that cycling brings. The inclusive cycling programme will provide opportunities for children who may never have had access to adapted bicycles, encouraging physical activity while building independence and self-esteem.
The campus also features a dedicated sensory room, carefully designed to provide a calming and supportive space for children who may benefit from sensory regulation. Alongside this, their activity hall will host weekly session filled with fun games, movement, skills development, and social interaction, ensuring that every child can participate in activities suited to their individual needs.
A brilliant initiative. Well done all 💙👏
