Clarecare is celebrating fifty years of serving the people of Clare tonight.
At a time when there were relatively few social services in Ireland, Clarecare was set up by then County Manager Joe Boland and the late Bishop Michael Harty, to co-ordinate the activities of voluntary organisations.
While the group has focused on services for the elderly since its inception, it has come to offer a range of services including counselling, addiction treatments, family supports and day centre services.

General manager of Clarecare is Fiachre Hensey.
