Why Donate?
As a non-profit registered charity (RCN 20106997) LOFFA receives no public funding. We rely totally on our own fundraising efforts and every cent raised goes directly back to our members. We have been very fortunate to do what we do and this is due to the generosity of the people of Laois/Offaly and beyond who have always supported us and we hope will continue to do so in the future.
We provide social outlets for young people and adults who have ASD and help to identify and link in with services and professionals in the local area who can provide appropriate supports. We also provide workshops, information sessions, training, liaise with schools to raise awareness of ASD and assist in providing the supports that are needed for students and families.
LOFFA
The clue is in the name...
We are Laois Offaly Families For Autism and we are all about families. We are a parent-led support group for families of children and young adults with a diagnosis of autism.
We actively campaign to raise awareness of autism in our area, and seek health, educational and support services that are appropriate to meet the needs of our children and adults with autism.
Social Events and Outings
We organise exclusive events and outings for our families so that they can make lasting memories. These are planned and organised with fun in mind for our children, in a relaxed atmosphere for an enjoyable experience among friends.
Become a Member
