It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I joined the CanDo team. In that year I’ve developed skills around customer service, IT skills, public speaking, soap production and so much more.

For me, the most rewarding part of my role is being able to share these skills with the rest of the team and watch them gain more independence every day in completing new tasks.

I thought with it being a year on since I started with CanDo it would be a good time to show you what I get up to on a typical day!

What a lot of people don’t know is that there has been a tradition of blind heritage craft here at Drumcondra Castle since the 1870’s. By carrying out the work we do, we’re proudly continuing that tradition.

At CanDo, we are proud to be a member of the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland. They support and advocate for designers and makers like us and serve as a mark of quality in the products that we make.

When you buy a Made Local product, you are not just supporting an Irish business - you are investing in a piece that’s unique, beautifully-crafted, sustainable, and will stand the test of time.

Summer is here and so is our cosmetics workshop series.

Join us on Friday the 29th of May or Saturday the 6th of June for fun and practical hand cream making workshops.

Each session will be an informative mix of scent blending and formulation, and you'll leave with your own natural hand cream with a scent of your choosing.

Love the idea but not free on these days? We've got you covered - fill out our form and we'll be in touch as we release more dates.

Links to the form and more information can be found on our website and on our story.

One of our newer retailers, is a beautiful, curated shop in Dalkey where you walk in the door and just know that every product was properly considered.

You'll find all sorts of elegant yet simple products - glassware and ceramics, wooden kitchen implements, enamelware and stationary to name a few.

If you're interested in what we do and like to see people with disabilities in the workforce - support our retailers! Follow their pages or have a mooch in their shops. Consider them for gifts.

It's a lovely thing to be able to support each other.
