Brothers of Charity provides planned short-term respite breaks to children from 6-18 years old, it has four community-based respite houses, three in Co. Galway and one in Co. Roscommon. The number of children accommodated at any one time will be determined through a matching process using the criteria of age, skills, interests, compatibility, gender, and required staff support.
