Enable Ireland Action Week On Disability 2009
Action Week 2009 will take place from 14 - 19 September 2009.
During the week we'll be asking the public to Take Action on Disability and support Enable Ireland services by buying a €2 'Action Badge' or organising a fundraising event.
This year we are focusing on access to social and leisure activities and asking the public and business owners to make small changes to promote inclusion for people with disabilities. Throughout the week we will be highlighting the positive experiences and the challenges faced by people with disabilities when taking part in social and leisure activities. For example, activities like going to playgrounds, eating out as a family, going to the cinema, meeting friends socially, or joining a sports club.
If you would like to stay in touch with what's happening in preparation for Action Week, please email your name and what county you live in to communications@enableireland.ie
