Information

At WASP CEP, we are deeply committed to providing exceptional, adaptable services to individuals and families affected by addiction. While we are grateful for the core funding we receive from HSE Addiction Services, Gambling Care, and HSE Disability Services, the reality is that these resources alone are not enough.

The demand for our services continues to grow, and we refuse to turn anyone away—which means we must find creative ways to bridge the gap. Through donations, community fundraising, and the generosity of supporters like you, we can:

  • Sustain and enhance the quality of our programs

  • Expand our reach to meet rising needs

  • Provide support for entire families, not just individuals

Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue this vital work. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can ensure no family faces addiction alone.
