A gift from you can help build a more inclusive society in Ireland. Please don't wait - will you make that kind donation today?
Your kind donations support us to offer training and other vital support to Irish Wheelchair Association members like Nicola and Alan, who are engaged in lobbying and campaigning on behalf of people living with disabilities.
One of the issues Nicola lobbies her local council about is rural transport – an important issue for people with disabilities all over Ireland. She’s using her advocacy skills and her lived experience to demand changes and improvements that will make it possible for more people with disabilities to retain their independence.
Alan took part in a national advocacy campaign called Getting Nowhere, which focuses on public transport accessibility. That campaign led to a review of all guidelines involving transport infrastructure being included in the new National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People.
Our team, along with Nicola, Alan and so many others around the country, are having conversations at local and national level. Together, we are effective.

A huge issue for people with disabilities is the additional cost. As we move into winter, so many of our members find themselves in a position where they have to choose between heating their home and eating.
This has been worsened by cuts in Budget 26. The government must understand that there is a real and immediate need to address the increasing cost of disability.
Thank you for anything you can give today to help support our work speaking out against inequality.
Together, we are stronger. Together, we make change happen.
