Aide à la vie pour les adultes handicapés physiques en Irlande

A walk in the park, a visit to the cinema, or a family meal - things that seem commonplace to you can be a real challenge for others. We organize volunteering and internships at residential homes for people with physical disabilities in Ireland. The adults, typically aged around 35 to 80 years staying at these homes try to master their everyday life as independently as possible, but there are also professional caregives to support them.

With your participation in the project you can enrich the everyday life of the residents of the facilities and help them to master their daily challenges. This will of course also give the chance to improve your English language skills by having conversations with the residents, going for a walk in the park with them, doing shopping and leisure activities, or to the cinema and theater with them. In the facility you provide entertainment by, for example, playing bingo and quiz games, and doing handicrafts and arts with the residents. If you are interested, you can also provide care support such assisting with eating, doing personal hygiene and dressing. For such activities, you will always be supervised by a professional care provider.

The facilities are located in rural Ireland where you can experience Irish village life first hand. Church, shop, post office, pub, hairdresser and beautician can be found in every village. The Irish countryside is also ideal for long walks and bike rides! The nearest larger towns are often easy to reach by public transport and are ideal for visits on days off.

Your commitment offers people with physical disabilities a more varied everyday life, the opportunity to participate in social life and improve their own skills. In return, you experience the world from a different perspective, become part of an Irish community and experience warmth and gratitude.
