THE Irish Women’s Rugby team are leading the charge to make Share A Dream’s plans for an inclusive play centre for disabled and sick children a reality.

Over 25 years helping 22,500 Irish children, Share A Dream founder Shay Kinsella has dedicated his life to bringing a little magic into young lives that are most in need of a little fun.

Shayย passionately believe that all children have the right to play and has pioneered Irelandโ€™s first inclusive indoor play centre โ€˜Dreamlandโ€™, that will focus on ability, not disability. Through a dedicated team of volunteers and benefactors such as JP McManus, the HSE, Department of Education and the National Lottery, Share A Dream has successfully raised half of the funds required to build Dreamland.

“It will be a magical experience and only available previously in a childโ€™s precious imagination,” Shay explained.

The Irish Womenโ€™s Rugby team has now come on board as Dreamland ambassadors. The team has shown that with belief and dedication โ€˜dreams do come true’.

“We are delighted to support the Share a Dream foundation Dreamland challenge and look forward to this inclusive play centre for children. We hope that everyone digs deep to help this great cause and make Dreamland a reality,” said Gillian McDarby, IRFU Women’s National Teams Programme Manager.
