“We’re going into the schools and working with teachers on how they can make their physical education more accessible to a child with a physical disability. The Ireland Funds are helping us do this for so many children, one sport at a time.” — IRISH WHEELCHAIR ASSOCIATION “The Ireland Funds were incredibly supportive and showed faith in us. We are building something here that is exciting, innovative and entrepreneurial and that faith makes all the difference.” — INNER CITY ENTERPRISE connect 2017 • 7 “We’re making life better for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia. It may seem small, but our germ of an idea just needed a bit of support. It was like a spark. The Ireland Funds was the fan that came in and helped grow that spark. Sometimes you just need to feed a fire to keep it going and this project was brilliant.” — THE SPECTRUM CENTRE “Thanks to The Ireland Funds’ support, the future is bright for this dynamic and innovative social enterprise. In its 3 years of existence we have supplied quality art materials and educational supplies to over 150,000 children and adults all over Ireland.” — RECREATE
