HOW CAN YOU HELP?

The Handicaps Welfare Association is a non-profit charitable organisation that serves people with physical disabilities. It is a member of the National Council of Social Service but is not funded by the Community Chest. It has been raising funds on its own to finance the various programmes and activities for the benefit of its members.

The followings are the major funding-raising projects organised yearly by the Association:

Wheel, Walk or Jog (WWJ)

A unique event where HWA's members, volunteers, staff and members of the public will wheel, walk or jog along a designated route to raise funds for the Association. People with disabilities usually participate using wheelchair.

The non-disabled participants can assist to wheel the disabled persons too. Funds are raised through pledge cards, sponsor-a-wheel-ride and direct donations from corporations and well-wishers.

Wheel, Walk or Jog 2010

It will be the 26th year running Wheel, Walk or Jog; Singapore's only 'walk on wheels' event. WWJ 2010 will be held at West Coast Park on 4 July (Sunday) from 9am to 12pm.

Collaborations with our main partners, support from National Parks Board and Ministry of Foreign Affairs will most certainly make this event a memorable and exciting one.

With an exciting array of activities, performances, games and lucky draw lined up, we look forward to seeing one and all once again this year.

Venue: West Coast Park (near to McDonald's Restaurant)

Date of event: Sunday, 4 July 2010 (registration starts at 8am)

For any queries, please contact Mr Bryan Lim or Mr Richard Foo at tel: 62543006.

Flag Day

Flag Day is another of our major fund-raising project. The Association requires help from members, volunteers, staff and students to sell flags on that day. To facilitate the deployment of flag sellers, several sub-stations are set up in popular locations island-wide.

This year, our Flag Day is on 2 October 2010.

Other Avenues where You can help

HWA has been fortunate to have received donations in cash and in kind from various corporations, well-wishers, institutions of higher learning and schools throughout the years.

Corporations and organisations have also helped us raise funds through various innovative ways in order to help us achieve our target. Schools and other institutions have also mobilised their students/undergraduates and teachers to help us raise funds. Our Association welcomes all donations, regardless of any amount, in cash or in kind.

If you would like to contribute towards uplifting the lives of people with disabilities, please contact our Executive Director at 62543006.

You have an IDEA to raise funds for us?

Come share your fund-raising ideas with us if you have any. Feel free to give us your view and suggestion in doing fund-raising. Who knows, the craziest idea might do wonders!

There is life on a wheelchair.
