The Irish Wheelchair Association in Clare has appealed for support after it was forced to cancel a prominent fundraiser due to COVID-19.
The IWA’s annual nationwide collection, which normally raises around €300,000, has been cancelled for the first time in its 30 year history.
The charity has launched an online appeal called ‘Without You, We’re Stuck’ and is asking people to donate through its website.
IWA Services Manager in Ennis, Catherine Early, says people in wheelchairs would find another lockdown incredibly challenging.
