Join us from Monday 21st to Sunday 27th of October for a range of events for our annual Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Awareness Week
Welcome to
Enriching and enhancing the lives of those in Ireland who are living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus, and the lives of their families and wider circle
We aim to foster an environment in which every person living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus can lead a fulfilled life
We provide essential information, support and advice to everyone living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus
We believe in, and seek to realise, a socially inclusive and equal society for all people living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus
We enable our members to get the very best from health, education, and social services by lobbying the Government
Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus are two distinct but sometimes related medical conditions.
Earlier in the year we sent out expression of interest in organising social events for teens. We took all feedback and suggestions on board and are delighted to launch our first Teen Meet Up in Beyond the Trees, Avondale! This first event is in conjunction with Louth/Meath and Kildare Branches and will take place on November 10th.
This is a national event and open to all teens in Ireland living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus.
If your teen is interested in attending please complete this form:

Make Way Day 2024 is taking place on the streets where you live tomorrow, Friday 27 September.
#MakeWayDay is an annual campaign to make way on our streets for people with disabilities and to raise public awareness about the problems caused by obstacles blocking footpaths.
People with disabilities and ally’s will be out and about on 27 September with local organisations to highlight obstacles such as cars or vans parked on a footpath, bicycles/motorbikes chained to lamp posts, illegally placed sandwich boards, forgotten bins, barrels and other obstructions.
We will be using our online survey tool again this year to gather information on the obstacles that people meet on their streets. The tool is available now on www.makewayday.com.
Photos and videos will also be taken and shared on social media using #MakeWayDay24.
