Story

Special Olympics athletes have come so far, they are staying physically, mentally and emotionally fit through our sports programme and more recently through our Together at Home programme which has enabled many of our athletes to stay active and healthy during the pandemic as well as creating a virtual sense of community where they all feel supported.

Traditionally over 3,000 volunteers would take to the streets on our Annual Collection Day to raise over 500,000 to keep our programme up and running but this cant happen in 2020. Instead we are launching our Cant Stop Nowcampaign to help raise vital funds.

We need your support to help us raise these funds because the only thing that could stop our athletes is a lack of funding.

About the charity

Special Olympics is a sport organisation for people with an intellectual disability, currently supporting nearly 8,000 athletes across Ireland, who are training for much more than the physical benefits that come from sport, but the emotional and social development that come from being part of S.O.I.
