Help for years

St. Ciaran’s Day Service was established in 1983 to provide a Day Service for people with an intellectual disability from the South Leitrim/West Cavan catchment area.

Our aim is to provide a Person-Centred service to each individual. The New Directions programme is being implemented at the Day Service.

New Directions sets out twelve supports that should be available to people with disabilities using Day Services. It supports people to live a life of their choosing in accordance with their own wishes, needs and aspirations.

helping others helps us help ourselves.

Constant development

At our Adult Day Service we are implementing New Directions and are striving to achieve the following for the people who use our Services:
