Who we are

    • are provided with a full meal on days of attendance
    • are provided with a forum for interacting with others
    • are provided with entertainment activities and appropriate physical exercises
    • are provided with transport to & from the centre where required
    • are given the opportunity to attend outings and social events at various times of year
  2. Provision of a Meals-on-Wheels service for clients who cannot attend the Day Care centre
  3. Provision of a Drop In Centre

Shankill Day Care Centre is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors (or Trustees).

The Day Care Centre and meals-on-wheels service is managed by our Nurse Manager (Jacinta O’Sullivan) who is ably supported by a number of staff (including Care Assistants, Cooks, kitchen assistants), our minibus service and our many volunteers.
