About Us
The Ballymun Active Disability Interest Group (BADIG) was set up in 1998 by local people who came together to pursue a common vision of a more inclusive and accessible community for everyone.
We are a community-led group that advocates for the rights, inclusion, and full participation of people with disabilities in Ballymun.
We work to ensure that every person, regardless of ability, has equal access to services, opportunities, and community life.
