Lakers Sports & Social is a Club for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

We are a charity based in Bray since 1989, our mission is to supports our members to live their lives regardless of disability. The primary objective of Lakers is to provide opportunities to people with an intellectual disability to develop their skills, co-ordination and ultimately their self-esteem through the medium of their participation in sporting, social, recreational and developmental activities according to their abilities. We also seek to provide a strong, supportive network for parents, families and friends of people with an intellectual disability as a vital resource in facing the challenges they inevitably face. We seek to create opportunities for our members to participate in the wider community to the full extent of their abilities.

Following the devastating fire in 2018, the dream of creating a forever home for Lakers has been many years in the making.

On Friday, 23rd October, we had the joy of seeing that dream fully realised as we celebrated the completion of the third and final phase of our building project.

It was a wonderful occasion, made all the more special by the members, families, staff, volunteers, supporters and friends who joined us to celebrate, explore our new facilities and mark this incredible milestone with us.

Reaching this point would not have been possible without the incredible generosity, dedication and kindness of so many people. To our donors, corporate partners, staff, volunteers, families and everyone who has supported Lakers throughout this journey, we extend our sincerest gratitude. We simply could not have done it without you.

We look forward to all that this next chapter holds for Lakers and our community! 🖤💛
