Thanks to the C.H. Robinson Cork Team for rolling up their sleeves and putting some elbow grease into gardening duties at our residential services at St Laurence's in Cork. We are very grateful for the support and also for funds donated towards Adult Services. Thanks again to everyone for their time, energy and commitment and a special thanks to Amy for organising.

✋It’s 🚶‍♀️♿

What’s blocking your footpath? 👀

Join Alan, an Enable Ireland Service Owner, as he takes a walk through a typical street and reveals just how many obstacles exist along the way. (Spoiler: it’s more than you think!!)

Today is about drawing attention to an issue often overlooked — the everyday obstacles that make our streets inaccessible for people with disabilities.

From cars parked on footpaths to bins, signage, and clutter, these barriers can turn a simple journey into a challenging — and sometimes unsafe — experience.

Accessibility is everyone’s responsibility. Small actions — like keeping footpaths clear — can make a huge difference to someone’s independence, dignity, and safety.

Let’s keep paths clear and spaces inclusive.

Make Way Day 2026 is tomorrow, 29 May!

Before the big day, tune in to a special episode of Enable Talks with Claire and Mikey 🎙️

They chat about this significant campaign, which highlights the everyday barriers people with disabilities face in public spaces—something we can all play a role in changing.

They’re joined by Pierce Richardson from the Disability Federation of Ireland to explore:

✨ Why Make Way Day matters
✨ The progress being made
✨ How you can help create more accessible communities

Let’s keep the conversation going—share barriers you notice in your area and tag Enable Ireland and the Disability Federation of Ireland to raise awareness and drive change.

Enable Ireland is always very grateful for the support of our dedicated volunteers. Our children's centre in Cork is looking splendid this week having had the team from MSD Ireland (Brinny) on site recently. They kindly supported with window cleaning, gardening and sanding outdoor furniture. We really appreciate the hard work that went into these activities and thank MSD for their continued support. A special thanks also to Michael and Amanda for their work coordinating these activities.
