CCMG Inspection Report 2020
The #Regulation and #Quality #Improvement #Authority (#RQIA) usually come to visit us every year and spend time looking at what we do and spend time talking to us. This is part of making sure we are doing everything we can to offer a #positive, #creative and #safe #service for everyone in #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange. Because of the #COVID-19 situation our RQIA inspector, Jim McBride, couldn’t come to visit us because he wanted to keep us safe. It was lovely…

Halloween, All Saints, All Souls

Even the usual stable boundaries between the Other World and our Human World were more open on this day and the spirits of the dead could roam on earth, along with…
