Welcome to Charity Shop Claregalway, located in the heart of Cois Chláir. As an establishment, point of interest, and store, we are proud to support Anam Croí, formerly known as Claregalway & District Day Care Centre. Our mission is to provide a Day Centre and Housing units that support older people in Claregalway and surrounding areas to live independently as part of a supportive, caring, and compassionate community.

At Anam Croí, we strive to create a thriving and supported community of older people in the Claregalway district. As a registered charity, we offer a range of support services for older people in the Claregalway and surrounding areas. Our Anam Croí Day Centre welcomes older people to come and socialize, providing a variety of activities in a warm and caring environment.

In addition, Anam Croí is an Approved Housing Body managing 14 independent living homes for older people in Gort na Creige, Cregboy, Claregalway. We believe in providing our service users with modern purpose-designed facilities that offer a wide range of amenities and activities.

Anam Croí's Charity Shop, formerly known as Never Too Old Charity Shop, is run by a team of friendly local volunteers. The shop's profits go directly towards the provision of support services for older people in Claregalway and the surrounding areas. Your generous support, along with the wider community, helps us to deliver our much-needed services.

At Charity Shop Claregalway, we strive to provide a friendly, safe, and stimulating environment where seniors are welcomed, valued, listened to, and appreciated. We believe in offering a warm and friendly welcome to all, understanding that a stranger is simply a friend you haven't met yet. We provide opportunities for social interactions that encourage friendships and having fun, as we believe that is the key to enjoying life at any age.

In our welcoming environment, we acknowledge and value differences, treating everyone with dignity and respect. We believe in working together with service users, staff, volunteers, and the wider community to ensure our services and facilities provide the quality support and care our seniors deserve.

Anam Croí was founded in 2012 to provide social support for older people in Claregalway and surrounding areas.
