page Annual Report 2013 2 THE BROTHERS OF CHARITY SERVICES GALWAY provide a wide range of services to people with an intellectual disability and to their families in Galway City and County. The services range from early intervention services for young children through to school age services and a variety of programmes for adults devised according to the level of support that individuals require and priorities that they identify. Services include educational, day, residential, respite, family support, a range of multidisciplinary supports and supports to people who live independently.

REPORT FROM CHAIRPERSON OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS It gives me great pleasure to present the Brothers of Charity Services Galway Annual Report for 2013. The Report documents the activities, challenges, successes and achievements of the year. The continuing financial climate resulted in further cuts to the budget in 2013 which resulted in cumulative cuts of €9.6 million over a five year period. Sadly, this substantial cutback has had an impact on service delivery. Despite the serious financial challenges, the year saw positive developments and outcomes for people using the Services, and I would like to pay tribute to the management team and the staff who have striven to protect the frontline services from the effect of the budget cuts and to Patrick McGinley, continue to provide quality services. CHAIRPERSON BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board was delighted that the Services achieved another four-year accreditation in Person Centred Excellence from the Council on Quality and Leadership and I wish to congratulate everybody involved in that process. The publication by the Minister for Health of the regulations for the registration and care and support of residents in designated centres for persons with disabilities has paved the way for HIQA inspections of disability services – this is a long awaited and very welcome development.

The Board would like to acknowledge and thank the officials of the Health Services Executive, the many government and local government departments and other statutory and non-statutory bodies, our colleagues in other voluntary service providers, the local politicians, our volunteers and the people of Galway for their continuing support.

Members of the Board of Directors: Patrick McGinley (Chairperson), Sean Hayes, Enda McGuane and Brother Dermot Manning.

Annual Report 2013 page 3 REPORT FROM DIRECTOR OF SERVICES The Services experienced yet another very challenging year in 2013. The cumulative cuts to the budget over the last five years amount to €9.6 million. The focus of the Board and the management team has been to endeavour to protect the frontline services as much as possible. However funding cuts of this magnitude have had an impact on services at all levels. In the multidisciplinary teams we have not been able to backfill posts that are vacant due to maternity leave or sick leave. This has resulted in longer waiting times for support. The hidden effect of the cuts is greatest on the people on waiting lists for residential or respite supports, and it has been extremely Anne Geraghty, difficult to respond to emergencies that arise. The waiting lists for adults for DIRECTOR OF SERVICES. residential supports are growing. Lack of new development funding coming into the Children’s Services has made it very difficult to provide for the very significant family support and growing needs for respite short breaks for children and families.

Yet despite the challenges of the year there were some very positive achievements in 2013, and I would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank all the staff and volunteers of the Services who have worked so hard to ensure that we continue to deliver quality services.

ACCREDITATION & REGULATION We successfully achieved another four-year Person-Centred Excellence accreditation from the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL). The assessment team from CQL spent four days with us in October. This included one full day of engagement with representatives of all our stakeholders – people using services and their families, staff, Board members, managers, funders and members of the communities with whom we interact. At the end of that day all the participants scored us on a number of themes and voted on what they believed our priority goals should be for the next four years. In their final report CQL stated, “Under difficult circumstances, the agency’s cultural attitude to support person-centredness is fully apparent. Priority of people’s lives is clearly driving change and the agency’s ongoing development.”

page Annual Report 2013 4 REPORT FROM DIRECTOR OF SERVICES In October the long awaited regulations for the registration and care and support of residents in Designated Centres for persons with disabilities were published. The publication of the Regulations was the precursor to residential and respite services for people with disability coming under the remit of HIQA and subject to mandatory registration and inspection from 1st November 2013. This is a very welcome development and we will be working very closely with HIQA to ensure that we meet the Regulations and the HIQA Standards.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS In 2013 we were delighted to receive a POBAL Grant under the Disability Activation Project for the “Let’s Get to Work Project”. The grant is to run over a two and a half year period. Many people do not meet the criteria set out by the current network of Supported Employment Services due to their additional support needs. The aim of the “Let’s Get to Work Project” is to establish a model of service that will explore individual needs and will support people to access the labour market in Galway through training, work experience and personal development.

page Annual Report 2013 6 Together with a number of other service providers we entered into a partnership with NUI Galway to support the “Going to College” Project. This Project aims to support people who have intellectual disability to follow courses of study in the University in a completely inclusive manner. The students attend lectures, do field and practical work, and complete assignments in the same way as any other student attending the University. In 2013 eight students undertook study in Marketing, Italian, Sociological and Political Science, Archaeology, Theatre & Performance, Engineering and Human Rights. The Programme has been hugely successful in its aim of supporting individual journeys to inclusion and independence. Elizabeth McCormack Going to College.

THE MOVE FROM CONGREGATED SETTINGS In 2013 we continued our progress in supporting people to move from congregated settings to homes in the community. We were successful in being awarded a grant from GENIO for our “Triple I Project”. This Project aims to support five people currently living in Kilcornan or a nearby group home to move into their own apartments in Athenry. “Triple I” stands for “Inclusion, Independence and Integration”. Through the project we hope to enable people to not only access mainstream housing, but to become integrated, participating and valued members of their new community. It represents another opportunity for us to make real the ideals of Article 19 of the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – “the right to live independently and be included in the community”.

BUILDING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT One of our goals is to support people using our Services to become active members and build connections in their local communities. During the year we had meetings with the GAA to explore ways that we could work in partnership with them through their Social Initiative. The GAA has extended its Social Initiative, originally suggested by former President Mary McAleese, to be a club-based, island-wide project, utilising the GAA club network as a vehicle to achieve the greatest reach into all our communities. In developing this partnership we hope to achieve opportunities for people using our services to become actively involved, if they so wish, at local club level. The GAA has Josie Burke, Mona Fahey, Mary Wall, Una McCotter, Lorraine welcomed the opportunity to engage with Mahon, Hilary Murry & Marian Diviney, Orchard Services & us and to explore how we can develop this Gort Active Retirement Group Joint Knitting Project. further.

Annual Report 2013 page 7 Michael Kerin, Community School Age Services Galway Mascot For the Match with Craig Clarke.

We were delighted to be chosen by Connacht Rugby as one of their charity partners for the 2013/2014 season. One ardent Connacht supporter from our Community School Age Services, Michael Kerin, was chosen as the Mascot for the match against Toulouse in December. He did us all proud with a great kick to the Clan Stand. Who knows – he could be wearing the jersey in a few years time! Sincere thanks to Connacht Rugby and all the players for their continued interest in and support for our Services.

SOCIAL LIFE AND DREAMS FULFILLED An active social life is very important and throughout the year staff supported people using the Services to participate in a wide variety of social and community events. Some of the highlights included the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party in the walled garden in Kilcornan on May Day. This event, shared with the local community in Clarinbridge, was a huge success with great examples of Mad Hats on display!

Club Tropicana provided another great night out in the Black Box, and right across the county people were active in Social Victor Ojo, Clement Moylan, Yaw Sarpong & Winner E. Eze Inclusion Week in their local communities. at Let’s Get Together Clarenmore Intercultural Project.

page Annual Report 2013 8 Through the Personal Outcomes approach our goal is to support people to articulate their wishes and help them achieve their dreams. Our continued efforts to emphasise the importance of community links and empowering staff to build on community connections for people using the Services, has resulted in more choices being available to people, more flexibility in activities and more dreams being achieved. Involvement in government sponsored schemes such as internships while providing very relevant work experience, training and mentoring for participants, also supports us to deliver outcomes for individuals.

An example of this in the Horizon Programme in 2013 was that the impact of the involvement of community support interns, supported by the Horizon staff, resulted in individuals having more one to one time and through this achieving better outcomes. One person in particular was supported to realise a number of dreams – Richie completed his garden project which had been his ambition since he moved into his new council home a few years ago, and the biggest dream of all was his success in being selected to be an extra in his favourite soap, Fair City.

Annual Report 2013 page 9 A LEARNING ORGANISATION Our multidisciplinary staff continue to make a significant contribution to learning in the field of intellectual disability. Dr. Mary Davis, Head of Psychology and Aisling Dolly, Senior Speech and Language Therapist, were invited to present at the Division of Neuropsychology Conference on assisted decision-making. They reported on the joint research being carried out by their Departments on supporting capacity in adults with intellectual disability to consent to medical intervention.

Susan Kennedy, Psychologist, presented her research study on an evaluation of a menstrual pain management programme for young women with intellectual disabilities as a poster at an International Conference on pain management.

The College of Psychiatrists held the Psychiatry Summer School in Galway. This is aimed at undergraduate medical students to highlight the attraction of Psychiatry as a specialty career and the diversity of mental health services. The Brothers of Charity Services Galway was chosen by the Summer School to showcase the multidisciplinary approach to providing mental health services to people who have intellectual disability. The programme included site visits and a plenary session with inputs from members of the multidisciplinary team.

FAMILY SUPPORT During the year 124 children and 34 adults and their families were offered support through Family Support Services. A very successful Summer Camp for the young people attending Rosedale School was organised and run during the month of August. All enjoyed their time and the feedback was so positive that another Summer Camp is being planned for August 2014.

Three other Holiday Projects were run during the month of August and an ‘Away Week’ for the older teenagers on the Dream Bus was a resounding success – plans for 2014 are in the pipeline.

page Annual Report 2013 10 The Clubs and After School activities were run each evening and every second Saturday which included drama, homework club, outings and many adventures. The Drama Group saw the culmination of lots of hours of their hard work being realised in the play that was performed to great aplomb in Nun’s Island Theatre.

The Home Sharing Team continued to develop Shared Living through the GENIO funding and there are now 4 individuals living long term with families – we are hoping that this number will increase greatly during 2014. Home Sharing Training for potential host families was held twice during 2013 along with training for Shared Living families. As well as the 4 Shared Living Families, the Team currently supports 89 Home Sharing families and 16 Contract Families.

The very innovative “Respitality Project” commenced in 2013. The “Respitality Project” forges relationships with hotels who agree to offer overnight stays or meals to families so they can get a much needed break. Two Galway hotels participated in 2013 – the Galway Bay Hotel and Renvyle House Hotel – and a number of families benefitted from the Project. Sincere thanks to the staff and management of both hotels for their enthusiasm and support. The Family Support Team is hoping to continue and grow the project in 2014.

In 2013 sadly there were a number of deaths in our Services and we remember each person with fondness and offer our sympathies to their families. We also had a number of retirements and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each person for their contribution and commitment to the Services over a long number of years and wish them health and happiness as they move on to the next part of their lives.

I would like to thank our Board of Directors and its Chairperson, Patrick McGinley for giving their time and expertise so generously. I would also like to sincerely thank the many people and organisations, too many to list individually, who supported the Brothers of Charity Services and the people who use our Services during 2013

Annual Report 2013 page 11 Pre-School Supports - Stories

The Preschool Liaison Teacher Service is provided to children with intellectual disability who are in receipt of multidisciplinary supports from the Early Intervention Teams in Co. Galway. The Preschool Teachers work directly with children and families and liaise with Preschools to support children in mainstream Preschools. They ensure that all domains of development are addressed including: Early Communication, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Cognitive, Social and Self Help Skills. They provide training and support to Preschool Providers and Preschool Assistants and help with transition from preschool to mainstream school.

LUKE MCCALLION

When it came time for my son Luke to start Preschool I had the usual apprehension and nervousness that every parent has. I wondered would he settle into this new adventure. Well, I need not have worried – we were lucky to get a lovely Preschool that welcomed Luke with open arms and saw beyond any little difficulties he may have. Then we were told we were being assigned a Preschool Liaison Teacher. This was all new to us, so I had absolutely no idea what this meant.

We were introduced to a wonderful lady called Maria who explained her role in a straight forward and uncomplicated manner, automatically we were at ease. Luke & Deirdre McCallion Maria visits Luke in his Preschool on a regular basis, observes his progress and offers practical advice to our great Special Needs Assistant Margaret and Teacher Linda.

If Maria saw a particular area that Luke may be having some difficulty with she would come up with fun and innovative ways to get Luke’s interest in the particular task.

In addition to the school visits, Maria visits us at home and updates us with Luke’s progress at school and gives us some homework to do with Luke. We are so lucky to have Maria, as her constant liaising with Luke in the Preschool has abated any fears we may have had. Maria’s role is invaluable and is clearly seen through Luke’s continual improvement. A Big Thanks to Maria. Adrian & Deirdre McCallion

page Annual Report 2013 12 LUKE MCLOUGHLIN

Luke has been attending “Little Treasures Preschool” in Kiltulla five mornings a week. Luke’s Preschool Liaison Teacher is Fidelma Loughnane since September 2013 and his Personal Assistant is Ursula. Initially, Luke was a very shy boy who had a delay in receptive and expressive language skills. He communicated mainly by pointing Luke McLoughlin to the object in question or by using the phrase “what’s that” as a means of starting or maintaining a conversation. He was easily distracted and as his parents we found it hard at times to understand his needs and wants.

However, with the help, guidance and support of Fidelma, Luke has made enormous progress mainly in his attention and listening skills. He no longer uses the words “what’s that” but is able to make two to three word sentences. He has grown in confidence as his speech has improved in clarity and in turn his expressive language ability.

We as parents didn’t think Luke would be able to commence National School in September 2014. We have seen the hard work Luke, Fidelma and Ursula have put in and we have gained more courage and confidence to help Luke achieve his goals. Luke’s relationship has become very strong also with his sister Chloe, grandparents, cousins and his three friends in Preschool.

Fidelma has a great relationship with Luke. They respect one another. Fidelma is firm, but at the same time allows Luke to go at his pace. She also links in with Ursula and offers the relevant guidance and support to her. We are very grateful to Fidelma for all her hard work so far. Maura McLoughlin.

Annual Report 2013 page 13 Niall’s Story

My name is Niall Broderick and I live in Ballinasloe with my Mum, Dad, two brothers and one sister. My 21st birthday is in June of this year and I am looking forward to that. I go to Fia Nua day centre in Ballinasloe from Monday to Friday and I have an active busy programme with staff. I enjoy physical activities and go to the local gym and the running track. I love long walks and walk from home to my day service when the weather is fine. I like doing gardening and helping the staff with general tidying and I painted my work room after moving to Fia Nua.

I have work experience once a week in the Carlton Shearwater Hotel in Ballinasloe where I help prepare the conference and banqueting rooms for events. I have a creative side and take part in wood work and art classes. I am a very social person and I’m regularly out and about in Ballinasloe and further afield. I enjoy eating out, shopping and going to the cinema. Last year two of my favourite outings were going to a match in Croke Park and a boat trip along the Corrib - I can’t wait to see where the Summer of 2014 brings me!

I made my stage debut in 2013 along with the Fia Nua gang and took to the stage in Gullane’s Hotel for “Stars in Their Eyes” where we did our own version of songs from “Grease”. We had great fun learning our dance steps and preparing for the night. I think I surprised a few people with my jiving technique! I am looking forward to this years show - the rehearsals will be starting soon.

Once a month I go with Family Support Services on trips and have been on weekends away in Cork, Bundoran and Westport. When I was in Westport I climbed half way up Croagh Patrick – I might get to the top some time this year! I visited Westport house where I did the “Zip Wire” activities - now that was fun!

I go to many local events and GAA matches with my parents, sister and brothers. We also go up North to visit my Mum’s family. Mum is from Tyrone and maybe if Tyrone get to the All Ireland this year you might see me in Croke Park in September!

page Annual Report 2013 14 LETS GET TO WORK In January 2013, the Brothers of Charity Services Galway embarked on an exciting new “Lets Get to Work” intensive supported employment initiative, under a Disability Activation Project, launched by Pobal. The Project supports people with intellectual disabilities to seek and maintain meaningful work within the open labour market. Four Outreach Support Workers each support ten participants in developing their skills to find and maintain work. Since the Project commenced 13 participants have been successfully placed in paid employment, 12 are involved in work experience/voluntary work and many are undertaking training/educational courses to enhance their skills. Carina’s Story My name is Carina Lally, I am 31 years old and I am from Galway. I was living with my dad in Tuam but I am now living in Athenry with my brother and his fiancée, Stephanie. I love living with them both as I get on really well with them and also as I can get the train to Galway which only takes 15 minutes.

I started on the “Lets Get to Work” Project in February 2013 after I heard about it from the Horizon Team in the Brothers of Charity. I wanted help to find a job. I had worked a bit in the past and I knew a job would allow me to make new friends, to be more independent and get out of the house more often. I meet Orla my Outreach Support Worker each week and we have got to know each other. I told her about the types of jobs I would love and also the types of places I would hate to work. As I had completed a catering course in Café Link, Orla suggested that we should start looking for work in bars and restaurants. I was really happy with this but I knew it would not happen straight away, I had to start training to help me get prepared for working.

In May 2013 my wish came true when Orla told me that there might be work experience for me in a bar called Busker Browns in Galway City. Orla and I went in to meet the manager called David. David showed me around and told me about the duties I would have to do. I met some of the staff that day and they were all so friendly which made me feel even more excited about working there. On the 1st June 2013 I started my work experience, I was nervous to start with but it didn’t last long as everyone was so nice and helpful. My supervisors Mary and Roxy showed me the jobs I would be doing everyday in the kitchen. I loved all of my jobs, but I did find some of them hard at first but Orla and my supervisors gave me great help. After two weeks of work experience I got even better news, Orla told me that my manager was very happy with my work and they were offering me paid work as a kitchen porter. I would be working every Saturday and Sunday from 12.00pm – 5.00pm. I am still working in Busker Browns and I really love it in there. It has really helped me to feel more confident to meet new people and learn how to work under pressure. I can now start saving money so that I can visit my sister and her family in Australia, which I am really excited about. Carina Lally, LETS GET TO WORK PROJECT.
