OUR MISSION

BADIG was set up in 1998 by local people who came together to pursue a common vision of an inclusive community in Ballymun for people of all ability.

OUR OBJECTIVES ARE:

To bring together people with disabilities to ensure that their needs are understood and met within the community.
To empower people with disability to voice their opinions in a structured and democratic way.
To focus on issues such as accessibility, transport, education and social inclusion.

We are supported by local residents, businesses, community groups and statutory agencies. We are assisted by Dublin City Council and Dublin North West Area Partnership.

Community inclusion means fostering environments where people with disabilities aren’t just accommodated but are celebrated and fully integrated.

It’s not just about ramps and accessible restrooms—it’s about ensuring equal opportunities in employment, education, and social life. Imagine schools that support every learning style, workplaces designed for all abilities, and public spaces that welcome everyone. When we invest in inclusivity, we all rise.
