About
An Arch Club is a social club for people of all ages with additional needs. It is a safe space for them to develop their social and interpersonal skills, learn real-world skills, make friends and just have fun! Arch Club was founded in 1976 by a small group of parents in Dublin, looking for a social outlet for their children. Since then they have grown in numbers and currently have over 50 clubs in 15 different counties! Arch Clubs offer a variety of activities ranging from tea and chats, supporting participation in sports, and learning life skills, to engaging in their local community.
