Nenagh an autism-friendly town

Make Nenagh Autism Friendly Committee is working on designating Nenagh as an ‘AsIAm’ accredited autism-friendly town, and the aim of our work involves raising awareness of the challenges experienced by people with autism, educating the wider community about the condition, creating a more inclusive setting and environment that will enable families to access local amenities and services, and participate in community events.

Our committee would like to thank the amazing club members, players, supporters and volunteers of Nenagh Éire Óg for their support and involvement in our project.
