Looking forward to many more gatherings.

🚶‍♀️ Happy National Walking Day! 👣

Today, we’re celebrating the many walking groups happening across our communities — groups that bring people together to get active, enjoy the outdoors, have a chat and feel part of something.

Walking doesn’t have to be about how far you go or how fast you walk. It’s about getting out, moving your body and enjoying the company along the way.

A special thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who make these walks happen week after week. From organising the walks and welcoming new walkers to making sure everyone feels included, your time and commitment make such a difference. 🙌

Here’s to every step, every chat and every cuppa along the way! ☕

Happy National Walking Day — and thank you to everyone who keeps our walking groups going! 💚

ILMI Launches ONSIDE Evolution Across the Border Counties

Independent Living Movement Ireland (ILMI) is delighted to announce the launch of ONSIDE Evolution, a new three-year project supporting disabled people to build stronger, more inclusive and participatory communities across Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal, Monaghan, Cavan and Louth.

ONSIDE Evolution builds on the hugely successful and transformative original ONSIDE project, which changed how disabled people connected, communicated and participated in their communities locally, regionally and internationally.

Led by disabled people then, and led by disabled people now, ONSIDE Evolution takes that work to the next stage: bigger and bolder.

The project will provide digital inclusion and Active Citizenship programmes for disabled people aged 16 and over, supporting participants to build digital skills and social connections, become more active citizens and explore pathways towards greater self-determination.

If you would like more information give Aisling or Caroline a shout. We can help you fill in the expression of interest if you would like to progress this.
