Enable Ireland was initially founded as Cerebral Palsy Ireland in 1948. It was founded by Dr.Robert Collis. The National Association of Cerebral Palsy was established and worked in partnership with the State to provide a range of services for children and adults with physical disabilities and their families. Throughout the 1980’s, parents, friends and families of children needing the services established a branch network throughout Ireland to meet the need for local assessment and treatment. These volunteers fulfilled demanding positions as advocates and fundraisers. The contributed the incentive for the growth of Enable Ireland.

In the 1980’s, Enable Ireland established ways to fundraise money for the charity. They set up a chain of profitable retail shops throughout Ireland to help top up the running costs and build capital fund to increase State provisions. Every year, Enable Ireland need over €2 million in additional funding to meet the cost of delivering their services. Without the additional income from the Enable Ireland shops and fundraising events, they would not be able to meet the needs of the children and adults and their families depending on the services.
