Together with and for Community

Down Syndrome Ireland offers information, practical help and support. Most of all, we are a community of people who share the same journey.

The Down Syndrome Centre Cork is based in Forge Hill, Co Cork. The centre provides Speech and Language Therapy, Early Intervention Programme called SKIP, Parent and Baby Class and Networking Events for children up to 7 years and their parents. 

UCC Vistors Centre: UCC's campus is full of many interesting buildings and features. From the Lewis Glucksman Gallery in the Lower Grounds to the Stone Corridor of the Main Quadrangle to the Crawford Observatory, UCC is a great place to spend a few hours. The Visitors’ Centre acts as a central point of information for the many visitors to the University.

UCC Community Week: This event is part of UCC Community Week 2021. During Community Week, staff and students across the university come together with community and public sector partners to host community focussed events and activities. The week long programme of events celebrates UCC as a civically engaged university.
