You bring us together to #share, #celebrate and #challenge and make sure we are always looking to the #horizon and #promoting #change. We could not have managed without the support of ARC through these #difficult times with #COVID. We look forward to continuing to work together to achieve #real change for the #wonderful #family of #people with #learning #disabilities and the people who support…
Learning Disabilities and Covid-19 Research
It has been a really #positive #opportunity for a number of our #residents in #Camphill #Community #Mourne #Grange to be directly involved in this #research #project which will hopefully ensure that the #voice of people with #learning #disabilities is part of the process of learning from the #pandemic and planning for the #future. A #team of #researchers from across the #UK have spoken to people with learning disabilities, and the people who support them, to #understand their #experiences during the…

Mental Health Awareness Week 10th to 16th May 2021
We should all take time to contribute and share about how we can support ourselves and each other with our emotional #wellbeing and #mental #health. The past year has involved living with the impact of the #COVID-19 global #pandemic and this has been a particularly challenging time as we have all had to manage significant changes to our way of life and how we connect with others. The theme for Mental Health #Awareness week this year is how we connect…

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 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…
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.
