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
