Event Information
About this event
Join us as DPA Celebrates the festive season with a Christmas Wreath Workshop by The Felicity Florals! Held over Zoom, this online fundraiser aims to raise funds for DPA to continue our good work within the disability community. The Felicity Florals' florist and DPA's very own Inclusion Ambassador will also be engaging in interesting topics about disability and inclusion as they go about the workshop.
Learn step-by-step tips and tricks to create your own wreath to display for the upcoming festive period, or let it be an everyday decor in your home for a touch of rustic.
Organiser Disabled People's Association
Organiser of DPA Celebrates - Christmas Wreath Workshop Fundraiser
Disabled People’s Association (DPA) is Singapore’s only cross-disability non-profit organisation. We represent the disability community, working to build a fairer society where everyone can participate in all aspects of life from education to employment and access to social integration.
What we do
A Voice of Our Own: We are an organisation for people with disabilities run by people with disabilities. We listen to the needs of all persons with disabilities in Singapore, their allies, carers and other social service organisations that provide essential services and we ensure their needs are represented at a national level. We provide a platform for all people with disabilities to speak up and ensure their voices are heard, and we represent those less able or comfortable to speak for themselves.
How we do it
We help the disability community have a voice in society by working with decision-makers in political, commercial and educational institutions so that no decision that impacts us is made without us. We also provide training for both people with disabilities and the public, so we can work together to create an inclusive, accessible society we are all proud of.
Our Aims
DPA raises awareness of the needs of people with disabilities to empower people to live independent lives via access to education, transport, paid employment and community activities.
DPA initiates constructive dialogue about disability so businesses and the public are conscious of the barriers that prevent people with disabilities being full and productive members of society and work with us to overcome them.
Sharing research and best practice examples that promotes understanding and potential solutions to key issues faced by people with disabilities.
We build public awareness of all types of disabilities, both visible and invisible. DPA regularly collaborates with like-minded organisations and has worked on various dynamic campaigns such as the nationwide See the True Me campaign in collaboration with the National Council of Social Services (NCSS).
