Why are Ability West fundraising?
While the HSE fund the overall operation of their services, families know better than anyone that the needs of the people we support go far beyond what current funding allows.
This car draw will help to:

- Expand summer respite for children with intellectual disabilities and autism
- Enhance sensory equipment and experiences across our Day Services
- Support a wide range of needs that directly improve quality of life for the children and adults in our care
- Enhance sensory garden developments
- Investment in assistive technology leading to meaningful independence
In short, this fundraiser will create an additional income stream for Ability West to give us the financial flexibility to do more, respond faster, and provide better supports for the people and families we serve.
