Contribution from our Wood Workshop
Our #Mourne #Grange #wood #work #team really enjoyed being able to work with #Hanna’s #Close to make a lovely wooden #arch to add to the beautiful surroundings at the #holiday #cottages. During the recent difficult times, relating to the #COVID-19 situation, Mourne Grange has also really appreciated being able to use the lovely holiday cottages for safe spaces for Mourne Grange #volunteers and #service users to have short breaks.

The festivals help us…

First Voices meeting since lockdown
Mourne Granges first socially distanced Voices meeting since lockdown in March. We spent time reflecting on our experiences of staying safe from COVID-19. We also talked about the RQIA questionnaire and how it should be changed to reflect what is important to us. We hope to arrange a zoom meeting with the Voices groups in the other NI Camphill Communities in the near future.
NISCC films
On Friday the 26th June, our Manager Lizzy, was invited to join a film project. The films are to provide advice, guidance and reassurance to social work students going on placement. Especially important now because the usual expectations and realities of placement will have changed. The Degree in Social Work Partnership want students to hear from those in practice and those supervising them in advance of them going on placement in August 2020 and January 2021. We always appreciate the…
Workshops have reopened!

After several months being in lock-down, returning to workshops has been a relief and blessing for everyone. This is a continuous gradual process of implementing ever changing safety measures and complying with legal…
