Our Mission Statement
To provide support to people with an intellectual disability to live a full life in the community.
We are a long-standing organisation based in Christchurch, New Zealand, with a clear mission to support people with intellectual disabilities to live full lives in the community. Our philosophy is to provide residential support whilst providing the means to have a holistic lifestyle at each of our houses.
To provide support to people with an intellectual disability to live a full life in the community.
At Claddagh Haven Trust we provide a lifestyle that is supportive, inclusive & empowers our people to live the kind of life that they want to live. Our homes are comfortable with plenty of space inside & out, & our large organic & spray-free gardens provide vegetables & fruit to all homes when in season. Those with a green thumb also have the opportunity to work in the gardens.
We are proud to have an excellent team of staff that provide personal care & support while encouraging our residents to be as independent as possible.
We provide support for people to live & thrive in each of our three residences.
The support that we offer is person-centred & encompasses a lifestyle that enables people to participate in the home. Our West Melton residence has the largest garden & two hectares of grounds. Our Rolleston home has a large garden, an orchard, a small vegetable garden & hens. The Lincoln home is located in the township and also has a small vegetable garden. While our Lincoln residence is considered our most 'urban' house, West-Melton & Rolleston are situated in the countryside. You can read more about each residence here.
