St Michael's House Fast Friends initiative was developed in 2018 to create more opportunities for adults in St Michael’s House to socialise and meet new people in a structured and fun way.
As the initiative grew more popular and several successful friendships were formed and reignited, the Fast Friends committee opened it out to include other disability services in the greater Dublin area.
Today, Fast Friends has developed into a hugely successful platform facilitating opportunities for adults with disabilities to socialise with their peers and create meaningful relationships.
Fast Friends highly anticipated events are always a resounding success. Events include Valentines parties, speed-dating events, Summer Luau’s, St Patrick’s Day events, Christmas parties and the ever-popular Halloween parties.
The Fast Friends Committee have produced a fantastic video highlighting the importance of the initiative, the events and meeting new people.
