After a tough 2 years in fundraising for all charities, IWA were delighted when approached by Michael and Dessie in October of 2021 to discuss running the Vintage Day in 2022 with all proceeds being donated on the day to IWA Donegal.

IWA provides a vital service and continued to do so, to those with physical disabilities living in our local communities. The service is inclusive of Community Centres, School of Motoring, Assisted Living Services, Parking Discs, accessible transport, Charity Shops and support in gaining advice and grant applications. As we discovered during the pandemic our services are so important to getting people out into their communities and socialising and now in 2022 we are glad to be back in action on all areas.

Should you require further information on our services, please contact Mary McGrenra on 087 7448184 or alternatively on 074 91 77448.
