Enable Ireland

Enable Ireland is a major Irish charity dedicated to supporting children and adults with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities and their families. The organisation provides a wide range of specialist services including clinical assessments, therapy, mental health support, educational and training services, residential and respite care, community living supports, and assistive technology guidance - all tailored to help individuals build independence, choice and inclusion in their communities. Enable Ireland's approach spans life stages from early childhood through adulthood, focusing on personalised plans that enhance quality of life and unlock potential for every person it serves.

Enable Ireland operates nationally throughout the Republic of Ireland, providing services from more than 40 locations in 14 counties. The charity supports over 13,000 children and adults with disabilities, offering both in-person and virtual supports to meet diverse needs across urban and rural areas. Its work is delivered in partnership with families, communities and statutory health services, combining frontline care with advocacy for inclusive, accessible environments and opportunities across Irish society.

Enable Ireland Charity Shops

Enable Ireland runs a network of approximately 20+ charity shops across Ireland, with locations in towns including Dublin (Capel Street, Lower Camden Street, Thomas Street), Kilkenny, Galway, Wexford, Mullingar, Carlow, Cork and Limerick, among others. These shops offer a variety of pre-loved clothing, shoes, accessories, books, homewares and collectibles, all carefully sorted and priced to appeal to local second-hand shoppers. Proceeds from shop sales go directly toward funding Enable Ireland's services for people with disabilities, helping turn donated items into cash for disability supports. Many of the shops also participate in charity recycling initiatives, and Enable Ireland operates an online eBay shop to broaden its fundraising reach.
