First Craft Fair at Clarke's Place, Moville
The first craft fair has taken place at the Moville Residential Group Home, Clarke's Place.Ingredients for the produce were grown by the residents and with great care made into delicious produce and proudly put on display. Produce such as beetroot, jams, chutney and cordials were available to visitors to the centre. There were also vegetable stalls and wood crafts on offer.
There was more than just these delights to see on the day, there was also an amazing Birds of Pray show and some home baking available to the visitors. It was a very successful day for the residents and for staff who supported them.
When the residents were asked how they felt about people coming to view their gardens and to see their house they said "we really enjoyed people coming to our house and gardens and everyone saying how lovely it was". Another resident said "we fell proud".
Martin McNamee, manager of Moville Residential Group Home said, "It was a really good event and it was great to see the self-confidence, self-esteem and pride in the residents as they engaged with the people who visited and explained all aspects of the facility and items on sale to them.
Anita Gallagher, Disability Manager added, "as a service we are very proud of the resident’s work, supported by the staff, in Moville community home. The proactive way that the residents took on a challenge, engage with the community and enhance the lives of all they meet is an inspiration to us all.
