Lace up your walking shoes to help local wheelchair association branch
A 10k walk to raise funds for the Irish Wheelchair Association will take place on this Sunday, August 27, starting and finishing at the IWA day / resource centre at Ballygologue Road. All the money raised from the event will be donated to the Listowel branch of the association.
This is where they need your help. In the coming days you may be approached to sponsor a walker or you might like to become more involved and fill a sponsorship card of your own. Or you may prefer to make a donation at your own discretion at a time that suits you best. Whatever you do, it’ll help further the development of the IWA’s services in Listowel.
IWA facilities include assisted living services, resource and outreach services, motoring services that support people in gaining increased independence and mobility, sport and recreational opportunities, housing, holidays, and the provision of specialised wheelchairs.
On behalf of the Listowel Branch of the IWA and its members, Jacqueline Barrett-Madigan thanked everyone who supported the local branch down through the years. “Without your support, as a branch, they could not function and would not exist,” she said.
Volunteers can get involved in a number of different ways that support activities within the IWA. There’s nothing more rewarding than volunteering your time for someone else.
