Our structure
Our structure provides purpose, rhythm, and a community to belong to.
We are responsive to changing needs, providing some support in the community.
Most people attend part-time, mixing Columcille with other activities.
Our values
Our values have their roots in some of the ideas of Rudolf Steiner – what it means to be a human being and to develop.
We uphold the dignity of each person through a fundamental respect for the uniqueness of each individual.
Our support is relationship-centred, based on listening, empathy and presence. We aim to enable the greatest possible independence and self-determination for each person.
