Proceeds from the Bluebell Community Lotto fund the various outreach activities and classes of our organisation.

Daily Outreach

We run a daily outreach program to the elderly in our community.

During their home visits, our dedicated staff will often make small repairs and report larger maintenance issues to Dublin City Council. Our staff will follow up on these reports and continue to apply the appropriate pressure on the relevant parties until the issue has been resolved.  Sometimes the simplest tasks of sharing a cup of tea or just changing a light bulb can make a difference.

We run a host of services that cater to both the physical and emotional needs of some of the most vulnerable and often overlooked group in our community.

Weekend Meal Support

We also deliver hot meals on Saturday and Sunday which complements the Monday – Friday service to our older residents, particularly those living in sheltered housing.

Daily Care And Repair Services

Our Care and Repair team will carry out minor household jobs, completely free of charge!

Holistic Healing

Bluebell CDP Holistic Healing
Catherine with a client

Holistic healers channel universal energy through their hands into the recipient to help balance the body physically, emotionally and spiritually.

We all have an energy system which flows inside and around the physical body like an electric current, becoming stronger and more concentrated at the seven major intersections, known as chakra points. When energy is flowing well through these points you feel well, content and free of illness and disease.

If energy is not in balance, chronic illness, stress, anxiety or other debilitating symptoms may surface. Energy channelled into the body replenishes depleted reservoirs, clears blockages and brings about peace, relaxation and healing in a very gentle and non-invasive way.

Spiritual healing involves no physical contact: the therapist’s energy-conducting hands hover above the clothed body, directly over the chakras and within the client’s extraneous energy field.

Monday – Friday (by appointment only)

€10 per 20min session
