Who We Are
Share Discovery Village is Northern Ireland’s largest residential activity centre and a registered charity NIC1C1204. Based in the heart of Co. Fermanagh, our mission is to provide accessible, transformative experiences in a natural environment, enabling our guests to flourish.
Since 1981, we have welcomed thousands of families, schools, community groups, and individuals — creating unforgettable memories while ensuring accessibility and inclusivity are at the core of everything we do.
The Need
Now more than ever, there is a growing need to support accessible and affordable opportunities for children, young people, families, and people with disabilities across Northern Ireland, Ireland and further afield.
- Many families and groups face financial barriers to accessing outdoor activities.
- People with additional needs often struggle to find centres that offer the specialist facilities and welcoming environment they require.
- Rising costs put pressure on SDV as we strive to provide high-quality programmes, maintain specialist equipment, and improve our facilities.
Without additional funding and support, too many individuals risk missing out on the life-changing experiences that Share Discovery Village provides.
The Solution
At Share Discovery Village, we believe adventures should be for everyone.
Through your support, we can:
- Maintain and improve accessibility with facilities such as our new Changing Places Facility, profile bed, and hoists.
- Develop innovative projects, including our next big goal — the purchase of an accessible power boat, ensuring that everyone can safely enjoy water-based activities.
- Build partnerships with businesses and community organisations who want to make a difference.
The Impact
Every contribution helps us create inclusive opportunities that transform lives.
- 🌟 A young person with additional needs taking part in their first kayaking or sailing session with confidence.
- 🌟 Families enjoying respite breaks together, knowing accessibility needs are fully met.
- 🌟 Community groups experiencing safe, inclusive adventures that build skills, friendships, and lasting memories.
Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive community where no one is left behind.
