International Social Worker Day
We wish to say thank you to all our #Social #Workers from all the #residents in #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange. 16th March #2021 is the key day in the year that social workers #worldwide stand together to advance our common message globally. The theme for #International Social Work Day 2021 is #Ubuntu which means ‘I am because we are’. Ubuntu is a powerful message on the need for #solidarity at all levels: within communities, societies and globally. It is a…
Supporting Camphill Hermanus
Hello to everyone in #Camphill #Hermanus. It has been a very difficult time for all of us keeping safe from the virus and working as a team to still connect as a #Community. We were not able to have our usual #Christmas #Craft #Sale because of #COVID. We would usually send you the money we make from this sale. We thought about it and decided to have a Christmas #raffle and also to include the profit we made from selling…
We share the Love with Slieve Roe Residential Home
During #January #2021, #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange joined a regional #Heart2Heart project ran by the #Forward #South #Partnership, they are an independent #charity that works with community, #schools, #business, #public and #private sector partners to help regenerate and sustain a healthy and prosperous South #Belfast.

‘We Matter’ Learning Disability Service Model for Northern Ireland
‘We Matter’ is a new plan for how #services for #people with #learning #disabilities are going to be changed. This will hopefully mean that services are better, and that people are involved in planning their own services. In #February last year a group of people from #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange went to #Belfast to take part in this process. Because of #COVID all of these plans had to stop. The process has now been restarted and a report has been…
Positive Planning for our Future
#Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange is involved with a #policy #development #group called #Advanced #Care #planning. During #COVID it has been highlighted that not enough people take time to think about how they want to be cared for and what happens to them if they die. This can include thinking about #organ #donation and planning your #funeral. This is an area of #life that people with #learning #disabilities are often not involved in and families can make decisions for them. This…
The Impact of COVID on our Lives
#Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange really appreciates being able to work with #ARC (#Association for #Real #Change). ARC helps #organisations in the #Voluntary sector to come together and share experiences and highlight the great work that we do. ARC took time to ask for a review of our experiences of what it is like to live and work with all of the #COVID #guidelines. This #review is really important as it has helped to tell us what we have all tried…
The Future of Domiciliary Care and Supported Living Work Force
One of these #reviews is looking at the area of #Domiciliary #Care. Part of the support we provide in #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange is called Domiciliary Care, so it was really important that our voice was heard as part of this review. We have shared how we work in Camphill Community Mourne Grange as a #team and #support each other.
Mourne Grange takes time to contribute to Regional Reviews and Development
It is important that we take time to look beyond #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange and look to the broader #landscape in which we live. Because of #COVID we have all had to make changes to our lives. This has meant that some of the #policies and the way #services are delivered have had to be looked at to see if we can learn anything and maybe do things differently.
Mourne Granges Positive Contribution to support Social Work Students
#Social #Workers play a really important role in making sure that people with #learning #disabilities are supported and have access to places like #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange. Social Work #students need to be able to spend time out on #placements #learning about the different areas and #service users they can work with. Since 2015 Camphill Community Mourne Grange has played an important role in regularly offering 2 to 4 placements every year. Last year and this year have raised many…
