Who we are?

Dodder Valley Club is a community-led initiative rooted in the heart of Dublin’s Dodder riverbank. We exist to create a welcoming space where migrants and locals come together—celebrating diverse cultures, sharing sports and traditions, and building meaningful connections.


Our mission is to offer migrants a place to gather, express their heritage, and feel at home, while also fostering collaboration with the wider community. Through inclusive events, shared activities, and active engagement, we aim to strengthen social bonds and contribute to the development of a vibrant, united Dodder Valley.Whether you’re new to Ireland or have lived here all your life, Dodder Valley Club is a place where everyone belongs—and where every voice helps shape the future.


What we do 

DodderValley Club is more than a gathering — it’s a movement of inclusion, creativity, and connection rooted in Tallaght, Dublin.

Our Mission
We create welcoming spaces where families, cultures, and generations come together to share, learn, and grow.

Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and ensure every voice is heard. Our events are designed to be accessible, respectful, and joyful for all.

Creativity
From art workshops to cultural showcases, we spark imagination and expression across generations and backgrounds.

Connection
We build bridges between neighbors, families, and communities — fostering trust, friendship, and shared purpose.

Collaborate With Us
We welcome partnerships with local groups, schools, artists, and volunteers. If you’d like to co-host an event or support our mission, we’d love to hear from you.



How We Do it


We gather every other week at Tymon Bawn Community Centre, Firhouse Road West, Tallaght, Dublin 24 — a welcoming space where families come together for 3–4 hours of connection, culture, and community care.

 

These gatherings offer a chance to:

• Reconnect with heritage through shared sports, celebrations, and storytelling

• Build new bonds with fellow families and neighbors

• Support integration into our Irish home, guided by senior member families and local groups

 

We also engage in neighborhood initiatives, such as cleaning up the Dodder River banks — fostering pride, responsibility, and visibility in our local area.

Twice a year, we host a semi-annual celebration that brings all members together to share cultural activities and cuisines from both our homelands and our new home — honoring where we come from and where we’re growing together.
