Praxis Care is the largest registered care charity in Northern Ireland. We also provide services across Northern Ireland, Ireland, Great Britain and Isle of Man. We are dedicated to supporting individuals with mental ill health, learning disabilities, autism and dementia. We support over 1,500 adults and children in over 80 different locations and have a particular expertise in working with the most complex needs, where individuals face unique challenges to community living. We are growing in response to the high demand for our services and aim to expand to support 3000 individuals by 2025. Praxis Care provides services across a broad spectrum of service user needs. We provide support and accommodation approaches, which are shaped around the needs and preferences of the individual and reflects how they want to live their lives. We are acutely aware that getting the support and accommodation mix right for the individual is not an option but an essential foundation for sustained success. At all levels of need we seek to identify the best solution available, with the service user and others who are important to them. This includes type and location of accommodation, who they live with and the support they need from our staff. We believe that complex needs should not prevent someone from having the opportunity of community living.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are 10 staff from The Croft looking to raise funds for a defibrillator for our scheme. We support service users with dementia, in a supported living scheme, to enable them to remain as independent as possible within their daily lives and within the community. 

Further to recent events, and how much in these circumstances a defib can increase saving a life greatly, we would appreciate all the support from our community and are hopeful that your kind donations will successfully enable us to give our service users a fighting chance. 

We believe this is a need for our scheme and will be running a leg each as part of two teams to complete the 26 mile challenge. We are not all  seasoned runners but are willing to see this through for our scheme.

If we are lucky enough to raise anything extra than the cost of our defib, we will put this towards our service user activity fund, which will go to great use with keeping our service users skills in different areas and entertained with a surprise outing or event.

Please give anything at all, it is all greatly appreciated and we thank you for your very kind donation. The croft team.
