Grangebeg - Living in Grangebeg

There are currently eight people living in Grangebeg who need support from coworkers. In Ard Glashouse we have Liam, Annie, Jospeh and Eilis and in Ard Keen house there is Dan, Lyn, Killian and Michael. Ideally Grangebeg needs a minimum of four coworkers in each house to help create a healthy balance between the working life and the social life.

Ard Keen House

We try to share the running of the houses between coworkers and those in care as much as possible. This means being involved in cleaning, meal preparation, laundry and other household chores with the guys. Everyone in the community has a bedroom for themself and this space also needs to be kept clean.

We also have a Community Hall in Grangebeg called Colmcille. This building also has workshop spaces, an office space and a shared recreation area including some exercise equipment and a pool table.

Colmcille Hall

Grangebeg Community will provide weekly pocket money for coworkers to use on their day off and we are open to covering other expenses. Coworkers are expected to bring enough clothes with them to last for the first year of their time in the community at least. Bedding and personal hygiene products will be provided by the community.

Everyone will receive one day off a week and an additional week of holiday time for every three months in the community. We ask people to be prepared to be flexible about when they take their holidays so the community needs can be covered. Coworkers are entitled to additional money to cover their holiday plans.
