The Bluestack Special Needs Foundation Ltd (Bluestack Foundation) was set up in Donegal by the Magee Bluestack Challenge Committee who, since 2002 has organised a sponsored hill walk to raise much needed funds for people with Special Needs. A walk was organised in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 raising in excess of €770,000. Some of these funds are now utilized by the Bluestack Foundation both to access appropriate resources and to attract additional finance to meet the aims and objectives of the Foundation.
The committee has worked and continues to work with people with special needs, their families, carers, friends and relevant organisations in order to ascertain their needs and respond accordingly.
The Bluestack Foundation now has over 200 families registered, this number continues to grow on a weekly basis as the profile of the organisation is raised and people become more aware of the services that are on offer, and the services that we hope to offer.
