📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our aim is to be the trusted quality care provider within our communities by supporting individuals and families to reach their full potential. Activities and target groups include: • Addiction Treatment Centre – Bushypark: ‘Holistic therapy for alcohol, drugs and gambling addiction’. Clarecare’s Addiction Treatment Centre, Bushypark, provides a range of counselling-based services for people addicted to alcohol, drugs (illicit or prescribed) or gambling to people in Ireland and beyond. • Family Support Services: Clarecare’s Family Support Service (CFSS) provides a broad range of supports for families throughout Co. Clare. • Thrift Shops: Clarecare Thrift shops are a very important aspect of the service Clarecare provides. They not only provide people with new and lightly worn items at affordable prices, they also provide an income source for Clarecare, which is reinvested directly back into the delivery of services across the County Clare. • Day Care Service: we operate 3 Day Care centres which provide activities and hot meals to over 290 older persons each week. • Clarecare Homecare is embedded in the local community with over 300 home support staff delivering home support services to approximately 700 older persons on a daily basis. • Social Work Service for Older Person is a dedicated free, community-based Social Work service for older people aged 65 years and over, living in County Clare.

💼 What the programme involves

Clarecare is in operation since 1968, providing three core services which includes Care of the Older Person, Family Support Services and Addiction Treatment Services. Our mission is to provide person-centred services to individuals and families within our communities. We currently operate four Day Care Centres in County Clare. We would like to extend the positive impact we have within our community to an international level. We recognise the value of cultural exchange and cross-border cooperation in addressing common societal challenges. By participating in the European Solidarity Corps, we aim to create an environment where young Europeans can contribute to our intergenerational and care of the older person impact through volunteering at Day Care Centre, while gaining valuable work experience and exposure to our community-driven initiatives. Clarecare seeks innovation and is open to new ideas.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
