TADSA volunteers are passionate about creating positive change
TADSA was founded on the idea that volunteers with engineering and other technical skill sets could use them to help lift people from dependence to independence. There are many ways to contribute to making this vision a reality. One of the best ways to become a TADSA volunteer and support our bespoke assistive technology service and Freedom Wheels bicycle program.
