Nazareth House are undertaking their biggest ever investment in Mallow, securing the future of Nazareth House.

The new development is well under way and will consist of a new two-story extension with 120 brand, new single en-suite bedrooms and ancillary facilities linked to the original Newberry House and existing Church.

Nazareth House first and foremost is home, it has always been and still is first choice of many people whose care needs cannot now be fulfilled in their own homes. The new development will mean having a lovely comfortable home, where people can live life as they choose here in their own community. Home is many things to many people, but most of all home is where the heart is. It is a place where one can be oneself, feel comfortable, safe, secure, protected and provided for. It is a happy place, where friends and family drop in, have a cup of tea or maybe something stronger, where chat, banter, a bit of gossip and the odd argument is the order of the day. Above all, it is a place where they care about, look out for each other, support and mind each other.

The development is costing in the region of €18.5 million and is being funded through bank loans and fundraising activities. Making the decision to move forward with the extension plans was a massive leap of faith by Nazareth House but a leap that could not have been contemplated without the support of the local community. They are confident that when complete, the work will allow Nazareth House to continue to serve our community for generations to come.

This October I am walking the last 100km of the Camino in support of this great work. Please help me raise funds for this very worthy cause.

All donations welcome.

Thank you,

Helen
