Show Me What You're Made Off

"Show Me What You're Made Off"

Disability Showcase Event

At a recent Showcase Event over twenty organisations displayed and presented their service portfolio, which they provide to people with disabilities across the North West Region.

The event, which was hosted by the Disability Federation of Ireland (DFI), gave service providers from the voluntary, public and private sector an opportunity to set up information stands and give individual presentations, informing colleagues from the sector and people with disabilities about the range of services they provide in Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal. 

Service providers presenting on the day, covered the whole spectrum of disabilities, including physical & sensory, learning disabilities and mental health conditions. During the event the Regional Support Officer for DFI, Mr Marcus Hufsky, remarked that “this event will be the starting point of a new type of co-operation and networking between service providers in the disability sector. The new funding environment will make it more necessary than ever before to co-operate, collaborate and use synergies between the wide range of providers in the field, thus making best use of limited resources and providing highest levels of service to people with disabilities.”

With the aim to give service providers an information platform and to mark the event, a new web-site was also launched during the course of the day. This web-site, which can be viewed at www.disabilityinfonorthwest.com will give detailed information about the providers operating in this region. Anybody interested in contributing to the web-site or wanting to become a member of the Disability North West network can contact Marcus Hufsky at DFI (Tel 071-9150098).
