Casual Day aims to improve conditions of the disabled

The project is owned and managed on behalf of the national beneficiaries by the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in SA (NCPPDSA). This organisation works at government level to improve conditions for persons with disabilities around human rights, transport, jobs and other national issues.

All the organisations that participate in Casual Day are appropriately registered entities with their governance in place. People who buy their stickers at retail outlets often wonder where the money goes. The funds are distributed amongst Casual Day's 12 national beneficiary organisations who cover the entire spectrum of persons with disabilities.
