Who we are?

• The Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) was founded in 1960 by a small group of wheelchair users committed to improving the lives of people with physical disabilities in Ireland.

• IWA has gone on to become an important provider of quality services to people with limited mobility throughout the country.

• Today, our association is made up of a vibrant network of 20,000 members and 2,000 staff, as well as many dedicated volunteers.

• Together we work to achieve greater independence, freedom and choice for people living with a disability.
