CoAction 1.2 C.S.P.E Project

CoAction 1.2 C.S.P.E Project

Today, we received a highly informative and enjoyable talk by CoAction.

What is CoAction?

CoAction West Cork provides quality services to support children and adults with an intellectual disability and /or autism. This is achieved by helping each service user reach their full potential, working in partnership with their families and carers within the community.

CoAction aims to support children and adults with an intellectual disability and/or autism in the West Cork area to achieve their full potential and live the life that they choose in their own community. This aim is predicated on the core belief that people with a disability have the absolute right to live a valued, fulfilled life in their own community, with access to the supports that they require to establish and sustain an ‘ordinary life’.  

What we learnt!

We learnt lots of new things about CoAction and how it started. CoAction provides a 3 year service with lots of activities - going to the gym,cooking, painting and community service. In this way people can get involved and make new friends. CoAction is all about having fun and supporting dreams. After 30 years of fighting with the council, parents finally received funding for a new building in Clonakilty. People can volunteer at the age of sixteen.
