Barry McGinn, Chief Executive of the Rehab Group receives a cheque, in respect of 2022, from Senan Mullins, Chief Executive, The Care Trust
For more than 70 years, the Rehab Group (Rehab) has worked to break down the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from living ordinary lives in their communities. Many thousands of people have seen their lives transformed, achieving levels of independence, educational attainment, and career progression that might otherwise have seemed out of reach. The main purpose of Rehab is to empower its service users to lead more independent lives and play an active and meaningful role in their communities, through the provision of high quality, flexible and sustainable care services, learning, training and education, employment-skills and opportunities. Rehab opened new services during 2022, providing support to more people than ever. The support of The Care Trust plays an important part in helping Rehab to deliver its services.

A Lust for Life is a multi-award-winning movement that uses content, campaigns and events to facilitate young people to be effective guardians of their own minds – and to be the leaders who drive our society towards a better future.
1st & 2nd Class Schools Programme supported by grants received from The Care Trust
The Care Trust initial grant of €65,000 helped ALFL to develop, during 2022, its primary school wellbeing and resilience mental health Schools Programme for children in 1st and 2nd classes. A Lust for Life Schools Programme has now been extended to 893 primary schools in 2,222 classrooms, reaching 51,110 pupils in 1st to 6th classes around the country. The programme undergoes ongoing evaluation both in-house and in partnership with the School of Psychology in University College Dublin.
Junior and Senior Infant Class Programme supported by grants received from The Care Trust
With a further grant of €80,000 from The Care Trust in 2022, ALFL is continuing to engage with education, psychological and film-maker professionals to design the body of work for a new junior and senior infant class programme. As this age group is so young, the programme style will vary from the older age-group programmes. The initial developmental work will be key to assessing the needs and learning styles for this level. The programme development began in February 2023 and the completion of the development phase is scheduled for the end of the year, with pilot testing due to start in January 2024.

Healing Untold Grief Groups is a peer support organisation. HUGG provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment in which those bereaved by suicide can share their experiences and feelings, while giving and gaining support to and from each other. The aftermath of a suicide is shocking, debilitating, surreal, and forever life-changing. It is not easy to learn to live with this loss, but HUGG is available to help. The Care Trust believes that minding each other is an important value and is pleased to support HUGG and its vital work.
Future plans
The Care Trust has made a grant of €45,000 to enable HUGG to progress its Peer Group Support programme in 2023. Objectives include increasing the number of people attending peer-group meetings throughout the country. This financial support will also help to increase the number of people accessing information on suicide bereavement and will allow for an uplift in telephone support to suicide-bereaved individuals. An additional grant of €2,083 was provided to support HUGG’s National Suicide Bereavement Remembrance Evening in November 2023.
