What an incredible day at the National Disability Show 2026 💜

BADIG was proud to represent the Ballymun community at such an inspiring and positive event focused on accessibility, inclusion, independence and new opportunities for people with disabilities.

We had a fantastic day meeting so many people, sharing experiences, raising awareness about disability and community participation, and having meaningful conversations about independence, inclusion and accessibility.

We were also delighted to meet Minister Emer Higgins and speak about the importance of community support, representation and creating a more inclusive society for everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand, supported us, spoke with our team, and helped make the day so special. Events like this truly show the power of community connection and bringing people together.

Special thanks to Dublin City Council and Ballygall Credit Union for supporting BADIG, and to LifeGlider for collaborating with us during the event.
