As Christmas approaches, Enable Ireland is extending warm wishes to the people of Galway and beyond for a happy, peaceful, and safe festive season. The charity has expressed heartfelt gratitude for the continued kindness and generosity shown by individuals, families, volunteers, and the local business community who have supported its work over the years.

Enable Ireland provides essential services in Galway for children and young people with physical, sensory, intellectual disabilities and autism.

Enable Ireland offers assessment, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, psychological support, accessible transport, respite care, and support for parents and families.

While part-funded by the state, the organisation relies on the generosity of the local community to cover the costs of delivering disability services to children and their families.

This Christmas, your donation could make a lasting difference to the lives of more than 400 children and young people across Galway City and County.

At present, Enable Ireland is raising funds to support its Music Therapy Clinic and Assistive Technology Clinic. Music Therapy is an evidence-based intervention that uses the creative, emotional, and energetic experiences of music to achieve therapeutic outcomes.

Another vital support that Enable Ireland provides is assistive technology, which supports children with their communication, education, and play.

Enable Ireland is encouraging anyone in a position to give to consider making a donation in support of its Galway services. Your support helps Enable Ireland continue empowering children and young people, while building a more inclusive community for everyone.
