Philanthropic Giving / Major Gifts

Becoming a major donor is an opportunity to fund a specific disability programme or project within our services. A major donation is a one-off donation or multi-annual funding in excess of €5,000. Major donations help us to plan ahead. This means we can achieve sustainable and effective services for children and adults with disabilities in our community.

There are many projects at Ability West due to the organisation’s wide range of services. Your generosity helps us to maintain different projects at different times of the year.

Sensory Rooms

Upgrading and re-decorating our sensory rooms in our residential, day or respite units is an ongoing requirement. Sensory rooms provide a quiet space for children and adults with disabilities and special sensory needs. It allows a time alone to be calm time in a room that appeals to the senses. This relates to touch, smell, sound, taste and sight. This senses are ignited or calmed in these sensory equipped rooms. Sensory equipment is costly and so your donation can support the upkeep of items or entire rooms.

how it all works…

We can designate a specific programme/area of work which you wish to support.

We will ensure you receive regular updates on our work and the impact of your support.

We will thank you through our key communications although sometimes our charity partners prefer to remain anonymous and we will respect this.
