In May 2011 with the help of Cathy Kelly & Chrissy McCandless the “Something Special Social Club” was established aimed at providing a range of social and recreational activities to meet the needs of children with a disability and their families across Inishowen.

Spraoi agus Spórt has grown and developed over the years as a result of the hard work of its committee and from the support it has received from the families who use our centre, the community and the other organisations which support us.

Initially we provided 100 places weekly, today we provide in excess of 600 places weekly on a wide range of classes.

Spraoi agus Spórt is governed in a professional and voluntary capacity by a Board of Directors.  We have a full-time manager, 2 part-time programme co-coordinators, 2 part-time administrators and a marketing coordinator through the Community Services Programme.  We employ 20 facilitators on a part-time basis during the school year and a further 45 facilitators and special needs assistants during the school holidays.  We also have a pool of over 15 volunteers.

All board members, facilitators, staff and volunteers are reference checked and Garda Vetted.
