How your organisation can support us

We understand that your organisation might be small, without a vast number of employees. We understand that taking on a ‘Charity of the Year’ might be a daunting prospect!

That’s why we are different!

All we ask is that your organisation commits to supporting us 4 times in a year.

So, even if your organisation is small, it is easy to support your local charity - Disability Action.

We have a number of ready-made events/activity that you could choose to support. These could be:

Enter a relay team into the Belfast City Marathon
Consider payroll giving
Or do your own thing!
