Leader Manual Launch
ILMI Leader Manual Launch June 20th
The ILMI Leader Manual was launched on the 20th of June and the energy in the room was palpable a big thank you to everyone who made it and especially to the guest speaker Mary Collins and video testimonial from Brian Dalton past participants of our Leader Manual training.
The chair Shelly Gaynor opened the event with an overview of the relevancy to everyday life of this resource. James Cawley ILMI policy officer gave the technical practicalities and it was his and Eileen Daly’s piloting of the training rollout for the Leader Manual that really brings this document to life.
ILMI’s CEO Damien Walshe spoke about the heart of the manual and the sterling work of pulling it all together by Susan O’Brien our super staff member in the West. Damien sketched out why this document is so important and how it came about the many Leaders who contributed and the authentic rights based Independent Living Philosophy underpinning the finished work. By Leaders for Leaders.
This Leader Manual is for everyone. If you have a PA service, want a PA service or are curious for someone you know then please feel free to make it yours or to share it around. Any queries please give us a shout on info@ilmi.ie
All the best from the ILMI Team.

Hack Access Sligo is a competition with a difference, that makes a difference! Competitors are asked to “hack” or solve everyday issues that lead to social exclusion. These issues or barriers are imposed on disabled people by attitudes or environments not designed with their needs in mind, so let’s change that!
Barriers to social inclusion can be obvious or subtle. Whether caused by environment, design, technology or attitude the aim is that participants come up with ways to change their world for the better!
All you have to do is go online to hackaccesssligo.com and get your free ticket. You can enter as a team (of up to 5 people) or as an individual (teams will be decided on Friday night).
Then turn up at IT Sligo, 5pm on Friday 15th February! Teams will be organised and ideas brainstormed. Saturday will be devoted to “hacking the problem” culminating in judging at the end of the day.
Students, graduates, professionals and social warriors are all encouraged to come along! Barriers exist in all shapes and sizes so no matter your skillset, if you would like to have some fun whilst doing some social good, then this is the competition for you!
No! Friday evening will be dedicated to giving participants every opportunity to brainstorm ideas. There will be speakers on the night that will give accounts of the social barriers that people experience. Participants are also encouraged to come armed with their own experiences, after all we are aiming to improve access for everyone!
