A big thank you to Shays Burger Van for visiting Ashleigh House and Coolmine Lodge on Saturday evening and treating clients to free burgers and chips.

Gestures like this make a real difference - not only easing costs for clients, but also creating a relaxed, social space where people can enjoy good food, conversation, and connection. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone involved.

We’re very grateful for the kindness and community support shown.

A fantastic 12km hike recently brought together residents from Ashleigh House and Coolmine Lodge, with around 200 people taking part on the day.

Activities like this play a vital role in supporting mental health and wellbeing. Spending time outdoors, being present in the moment, and moving together creates space for conversation, shared stories, laughter, and new connections. It’s also an opportunity for people to build friendships and experience the power of community in recovery.

Days like these remind us that recovery is strengthened through connection, shared experiences, and support for one another.

This week on RTÉ Radio 1’s Drivetime, Lorraine Higgins, Team Leader at Ashleigh House, shared a powerful insight into what Christmas means for the women and children in our therapeutic community.

At Coolmine, the festive season isn’t just about celebration, it’s about connection, safety, and the chance to rebuild lives. For many of the families in our care, this is their first Christmas in recovery, their first Christmas with stability, or their first Christmas spent together.

Lorraine spoke beautifully about the strength of the women in Ashleigh House, the support they give one another, and the importance of creating a warm, joyful environment for their children, especially at this time of year.

We are incredibly proud of our staff and residents who make Coolmine a true community, not just at Christmas but every single day.

As the year draws to a close, everyone at Coolmine would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This festive season is a time to enjoy moments with family and friends, and to reflect on the progress made, the resilience shown, and the support shared throughout the year. Together, we have witnessed courage, growth, and hope - and none of this would be possible without the continued support of our community, partners, staff, and supporters.

Thank you for walking alongside us and for believing in recovery. We wish you peace, warmth, and happiness this Christmas, and every success in the year ahead.

There was extra magic in the air at Ashleigh House as Santa himself came to visit, bringing smiles, laughter, and true Christmas cheer to everyone

A huge thank you to Mediolanum for making this wonderful visit possible. Your generosity helped create a moment that will be remembered long after the decorations come down.

Special thanks to Mariano, who stepped into Santa’s boots and truly embodied the spirit of Christmas, and to Claudia and her amazing elves, who added sparkle, warmth, and festive fun every step of the way.

Moments like these remind us what Christmas is all about — kindness, community, and joy shared together.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from all of us at Ashleigh House and Coolmine

At Coolmine, we know that recovery is not just about the individual, it’s about rebuilding families, reconnecting with community, and restoring hope for the future.

This year, thanks to our dedicated team and incredible supporters, over 3,000 people have taken life-changing steps toward recovery.

Our approach goes beyond abstinence. We provide wraparound care that supports every area of life, offering pathways to employment, access to education, secure housing supports, family services, and a community that believes in every person’s potential.

This Christmas, we’re especially grateful to our amazing partners at Mediolanum, whose support enabled us to broadcast three ads on Christmas FM, helping raise awareness and share real stories of hope.

One of those voices is Stephen.
After losing his home, his marriage, his family, and even his sense of self—Stephen came to Coolmine. With compassion, structure, and community, he rebuilt his life piece by piece.

Today, Stephen is celebrating Christmas free from substance use, reunited with purpose and hope. And his story is just one of thousands we hear each year.

With your support, we can continue to help people on their recovery journeys, rebuild families, strengthen communities, and offer hope and a future to thousands more.
