They explored the Walt Disney Studios Park and after all the fun, picked up some merch to remember the trip forever. 💖🎢

In just 5 days, we're hosting our Annual Quality Conference at the Fairways Hotel Dundalk! 🎉

This is a key event in the Praxis Care calendar, where our senior leadership team reflects on the past year and discusses how we can continue to provide the highest quality care, always putting individuals at the centre. 💜

It's also a chance to witness the incredible progress made by those we support and to shape the future of our services. We're excited to see everyone there - stay tuned for more updates.

Big shoutout to our volunteers Johnny, Marie, Ciara and Joanne from Danske Bank UK for their amazing work at Kilmorey House last week!

From lifting leaves and washing windows to cleaning gutters and hosing the patio, the grounds are looking spotless thanks to their hard work. 🍂🙌

A big thank you to all the pups who mean so much to us. ❤️

Thank you to the team of 5 dedicated volunteers from Danske Bank UK who recently transformed Larne Supported Living Service!
