Sing Together provides an uplifting social outing for anyone whether they are retired, living with a disability or  simply enjoys a good old fashioned sing song with others.

 

Sarah Garden of Sing Together said, “Bringing the community together through the medium of song is what Sing Together is all about. Singing has been scientifically proven to lift the mind and energise the body. Everyone has a voice and singing truly inclusive activity bringing joy to everyone who participates. At this event new friendships were formed as result of Singing Together.’

This is an invitation to attend Irish Wheelchair Association driving school open day in the MS therapy centre in Ballytivnan Sligo on Wed 23^rd November.   The overall purpose is to raise awareness of our driving school and also introduce you to our new ‘Drive from Wheelchair Adapted Car’. 

 

LAPWD would like to thank and congratulate Peter and Josephine Mc Loughlin for their kindness to organised a charity dance event this year for us and join our boys. This year was very successful as it was a great evening had by all. This Leitrim couple have raised €100,000 in funds for local charities, over the last 10 years. So a big thank you to everyone involved.

A number of years ago peter was told by doctors that he would never walk again, and after the determination he proved doctors wrong, just like he said that he was going to raise €100,000 for charity and yet again Peter and his wife together took on the big task and in 2016 has hit the target.

LAPWD would like to thank Peter and Josephine for thinking of us this year for the monies raised and to congratulate them on the brilliant achievement.
