Participants at the recent Creative Arts Project
disABILITY Louth invite all members of the public with an interest in disability matters to their AGM on Tuesday December 6th at 10.30am at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
This is an exciting time for the group as they hold their first in-person AGM in 3 years. disAbility Louth was formed in 2018 and is the only Co. Louth voluntarily run charity, by persons with a disABILITY or carers of persons with a disability to promote for equality and rights for those with a disability in the county.
This year the focus will be on ‘The Cost of Living’ with guest speakers Sean Brosnan from MABS and Helen Grant from Employability Louth along with well know motivational speaker Nicola Connolly Byrne from Duleek.
Nicola was such a success at the 2020 AGM over zoom that they have asked her to come along and deliver a presentation in person.
Throughout the pandemic disAbility Louth have managed to keep their meetings and a number of activities on the go through zoom, however having their AGM in 2022 in person in the Crowne Plaza will certainly be something to look forward to.
Along with the regular AGM business and guest speakers, a presentation will also be given by group treasurer Annette Monaghan on the ‘Breaking the Mould’ project which along with other activities has been funded by Louth County Council’s ‘Disability Participation and Awareness Fund’.
The art project started in August this year and is planned to run for 16 weeks for four groups around the county.
32 participants have been enjoying classes with four experienced professional artists making art pieces which include pottery , painting keepsakes and lots more.
'Breaking the Mould' symbolises breaking out of confinement and isolation post-Covid, getting back to normal life and showing the world what people with disabilities can achieve in their lives.
If you are part of a disability group and have ideas for future projects under disAbility Louth’s project they would be delighted to hear about it on the day.
The AGM will be held on Tuesday December 6th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Dublin Road Dundalk with guest speakers and Registration at 10.30am.
Lunch will be provided. Booking essential. To book contact disabilitylouth@gmail.com
