About the organisation
Mourne Grange is a village community for adults with special needs. Volunteers live and work alongside those who need help, together with permanent workers and their families. Through living in community together, caring for each other's needs, sharing responsibility, and upholding a Christian way of life, the community creates a healing environment in which each person can find recognition as an individual and join a way of life where they can contribute and be encouraged in their potential.
Opportunities available
One year positions.
About the work
Work available in our workshops (pottery, woodwork, weaving, bakery, laundry) or in the house gardens or bio-dynamic farm.
Experience and skills required
The only essential requirement is an interest in, and a willingness to share community life, together with openness to new social forms. Minimum age is 19.
Application details
Apply at any time.
Conditions of service
Volunteers live in one of 12 house communities. Volunteers often choose to take holidays at the end of their stay and some help may be given towards the cost of a holiday or travel. Board and lodgings as well as basic needs are met by the community during the year.
