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 |
 |
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 a wheelchair.
The able-bodied 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.
This year WWJ will be on 6
July 2008. |
| 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's Flag Day will be
on 2 August 2008. |
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 6254 3006.
