Kilbelin is Kare’s third day service in the area
Kare has officially opened Kilbelin, its new day service in Newbridge, providing a new local base for people with intellectual disabilities.
The service was officially opened last Thursday (5 November) by Minister Martin Heydon at an event attended by people supported by Kare and their families, Kare staff and Board members, public representatives and other local stakeholders.
Kilbelin is Kare’s third day service in Newbridge and currently supports 14 adults with intellectual disabilities.
The service provides opportunities for them to take part in activities based on their own interests and choices, develop skills and friendships, access employment opportunities and take an active part in their local community.
The development of Kilbelin has taken place over the past two years, bringing a previously unused building back into use and creating another dedicated day service in the town.
The HSE provided core funding for the development, while Life Credit Union funding has supported the installation of new sensory spaces.
Speaking at the opening, Kare CEO Margaret O’Neill said: “Kare’s vision is ‘Connected communities where everyone belongs’. In our day services, that means supporting each person to make choices about how they spend their time, to do things that interest them and to be involved in the community around them."
