St Christophers

St. Christopher’s Services CLG is a community-focused organisation in Longford, Ireland, providing care and support for people with disabilities. Its mission is to empower people to lead self-directed, personally fulfilling lives, while its vision is to build communities where people with disabilities are fully included and valued as equal members of society. The organisation’s approach is guided by respect, choice, partnership and support, with services shaped around each person’s needs, preferences and goals.

Its day services support adults from age 18 through retirement and beyond to develop daily living skills and take part in leisure, arts, crafts and community activities. Residential services across Longford offer person-centred support, helping people live independently or with peers, participate in community life and access 24-hour care when needed. Respite services provide short-term daytime or overnight breaks, encouraging social connections while also giving families and carers time away from full-time caring. St. Christopher’s also provides specialist programmes and units, including an Adult Training Unit, Sonas Unit, Men’s Shed, and communication and person-centred planning supports.
