The aim of the Louth/Meath Branch of Down Syndrome Ireland is to support people with Down syndrome and their families in the counties of Louth and Meath.

Huge thanks to Laura (Lidl Area Manager) and Graham (Lidl Navan Store Manager) for hosting our LMETB/Down Syndrome Louth Meath Branch Work Ready Programme Customer Service Field Trip 🙌

Our students had a fantastic learning experience, gaining real insights into what great customer care looks like from both Laura and Graham. We were especially proud to hear from our very own branch member Paul, who shared all about the brilliant work he does during his 2.5-hour shifts at Lidl Navan 💪

We were also delighted to have Cara Morgan, Employment Support Specialist, join us. Cara is working closely with LMETB and supporting our adult members as they explore exciting pathways into paid employment through the National DSI Employment Support Programme.

A big shoutout as well to LMETB Navan for delivering such an incredible year-long Work Ready Programme for our members 👏✨

What an incredible few days for our Artistic Swimming Club! 🌊✨

Based in Trim Aura, our swimmers teamed up with the amazing Team GB coaches from GB for a fantastic training camp at Clongowes Wood College on April 7th and 8th.

A huge shoutout to our five dedicated swimmers — Liam Foley, Fintan Bray, Sarah Mc Carton, Deirdre Nevin, and Eleanor Murray — who all successfully passed their Level 9 Artistic Swimming Award from Swim England! 👏🏆

The intensive camp was led by our fantastic coach Aoife Drumm alongside Team GB coaches Di Hughes and Pauline Walker from the Electric Eels Artistic Swimming Club in Windsor. Their expertise made for an unforgettable experience filled with both pool and land training sessions — tough, but so rewarding! 💪💦

To wrap up the camp, our swimmers delivered a brilliant performance for the college staff, leaving everyone thoroughly impressed! 🌟

An exhausting, inspiring, and hugely enjoyable camp — we couldn’t be prouder of our team! 💙
