About McAuley Place

McAuley Place was established in 2000. It is a voluntary non-denominational, not for profit, housing association with charitable status. Our vision is to ‘To Sustain an Ageing Population at the Heart of a Vibrant Community’.

The Community and Facilities of McAuley Place are today’s real representation of that vision. At McAuley Place we place huge emphasis on promoting opportunities for lifelong learning, - the arts are central to this policy - and on ensuring social inclusion for residents and for the wider community.

We rely on the generosity of the community and a core group of volunteers to keep the vision alive. The organisation through its housing, community centre, tea rooms, arts & culture centre and Luisne Woodland Garden brings intergenerational activities to the residents of McAuley Place and the people of Naas and its environs.

About the Luisne Centre and Woodland Garden

The vision for the garden is to create an environment that will promote health and wellbeing for Residents of McAuley Place and people of all ages in line with the United Nations Principles for Older Persons and the Healthy Ireland Framework. The Luisne Centre builds on the existing innovative approach of McAuley Place to health and positive ageing by providing an intergenerational meeting space facilitating social inclusion and promoting the arts and creativity as tools for engagement for all ages.

About the Healthy Ireland Framework

The vision of a Healthy Ireland is one where everyone can enjoy physical and mental health and wellbeing to their full potential, where wellbeing is valued and supported at every level of society and is everyone’s responsibility. The Healthy Ireland Framework draws on existing policies but proposes new arrangements to ensure effective co-operation and collaboration and to implement evidence-based policies at government, sectoral, community and local levels. It is about each individual sector helping to improve health and wellbeing, multiplying all efforts and delivering better results.

About United Nations Principles for Older Persons

Older persons should be able to pursue opportunities for the full development of their potential [and]... have access to the educational, cultural, spiritual and recreational resources of society. Older persons should remain integrated in society, participate actively in the formation and implementation of policies that directly affect their well-being and share their knowledge and skills with younger generations.
