Our wonderful volunteers have been helping people with disabilities to develop social networks and friendships for over 40 years through monthly events and social activities.
Caring and Sharing Association (CASA) is a registered charity that works closely with those who need our services most. CASA organises social events and meetups to help people with disabilities develop friendships and social networks.
Our dedicated team of trained volunteers ensures that each member has their assigned “buddy” for every event, providing personalised support at their own pace. Whether it’s small meetups like bowling, cinema outings, or coffee gatherings, or larger events that bring all groups together with entertainment and catering, CASA creates opportunities for connection.
Additionally, we offer an annual Lourdes pilgrimage with one-to-one volunteer support. Our inclusive community welcomes individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including those with physical, sensory, and intellectual disabilities.
We are unique in that we work with and support people with all disabilities – physical, sensory and intellectual – of all ages and from all backgrounds.
Small meet-ups with one-to-one volunteer support, such as bowling, cinema outings, coffee gatherings, shopping etc.
This is the core service provided by CASA, giving our members a vital social outlet on a regular basis.
We also host larger events periodically that bring social groups together, typically at hotels and similar venues, with entertainment, music, dancing and catering, giving members the opportunity to create unforgettable memories.
Our annual Lourdes pilgrimage, with one-to-one volunteer support, caters for approx. 130 people. It’s not only for CASA members but we also liaise with hospitals and hospices to identify people with life-limiting conditions that may wish to travel to Lourdes.
There are 20 CASA groups nationwide so no matter where you live, there is a group near you! There are also 6 CASA charity shops across Ireland that you can support.

CASA’s service brings numerous benefits to both our members and their families. By participating in our events, individuals with disabilities can develop their own social networks and friendships, gaining independence and enjoyment beyond their immediate family network.
Families find reassurance in knowing that our one-to-one paired volunteering policy ensures the best possible experience and opportunity for their loved ones. CASA provides a safe and inclusive space where meaningful connections thrive.
We are incredibly grateful to Dropbox and their staff for their continued support.
The hallmark of CASA is our “one-to-one buddy“ volunteer support. It ensures everybody gets the full, individual care and attention they deserve!
This includes admission to all our monthly activities and our larger events.
It’s not the same volunteer every time, but recurring volunteers are common.
We try to provide transport where possible but we are heavily limited on transport options.
There is a small fee applied to attend some events.
