We’re delighted to be the Access & Inclusion Partner to the 2025 Baboró International Arts Festival for Children, Ireland’s flagship arts festival dedicated to children and families.
As a registered charity, Baboró works all year to bring meaningful arts experiences to children in our community and to support artists making work for young audiences. Its work culminates in an annual multidisciplinary festival, taking place across Galway City and County from the 10th to 19th of October, where thousands of children, families and schools are welcomed to experience the very best of Irish and international performance, literature and visual art for young audiences.
As Access and Inclusion Partner, we’ll be supporting relaxed performances, sensory-friendly shows and creative access workshops for children with additional needs and their families. Our support will help Baboró break down barriers to attendance, creating programmes where everyone is welcomed, heard, and represented in our community.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Constellation Healthcare as Baboró’s Access & Inclusion Partner for 2025. As a rights-based organisation, we believe in the right of every child to participate in the arts on their terms. This support helps Baboró break down barriers to attendance, creating programmes where everyone is welcomed, heard and represented in the festival”, Aislinn Ó hEocha, Executive Artistic Director of Baboró.
Paul Bellew, our Director of Operations, said: “I’m delighted Constellation Healthcare is Baboró’s Access & Inclusion Partner for 2025. We’re committed to celebrating and supporting neurodiverse children and their families. Making the arts more inclusive is a meaningful way to show the depth of that commitment.”
Constellation Healthcare are proud to be one of Ireland’s leading providers of neurodiversity assessments and supports, working with thousands of families every year. We support children and adolescents aged 2–18 with developmental, communication and behavioural needs through an integrated suite of services that connects assessment, diagnosis, intervention and follow-up support.
We believe in celebrating every child’s unique mind and helping them reach their full potential. We work in close partnership with families and public sector teams to ensure each child receives the right support – at the right time – to thrive. Our services help families move forward with clarity and enable public sector partners to plan and deliver services more effectively.
