Fundraising for Shine: The Irish Progressive Association for Autism - Shine is a Voluntary Organisation and a Registered Charity. The Shine Centre provides services to over 70 children on a weekly basis through our Early Learning Unit for Pre-school autistic children, the Life Skills and After Schools Programmes and our Mainstream School Support Service. We also work with the parents of our children in the areas of training, parallel learning , an advice line and regular parent meeting and support groups. Hundreds of families have benefited from the support of Shine/IPAA since it was established in 2001. Many of the services that the Shine Centre provides receives no State funding so the organisation relies heavily on our fundraising efforts to cover these costs.
If you would like to become involved in one of the fundraising initiatives that Shine operates we would be delighted to hear from you.
