🏢 About the local organisation

The Irish Wheelchair Association is a voluntary organisation dedicated to the achievement of full social, economic and educational integration of people with physical disabilities, Cuisle is their holiday and respite centre (www.cuisle.com).

💼 What the programme involves

Socialising and interacting with the holiday guests and accompanying them on trips. The age and background of the guests varies, all the guests have physical disabilities and some may have speech impairments and/or learning disabilities. Activities will include lots of entertainment and music, if you play a musical instrument please bring it with you. Volunteers are also asked to help in the kitchen for approximately one hour each day. Volunteering at Cuisle is a lot of fun and is a very rewarding experience.
