Sunbeam House Services continues to expand and now has over 50 locations, 350 clients and 600 staff.

SHS were the first organisation in Europe to receive a quality accreditation from CQL. 

SHS was one of the first organisations in the country to develop a supported employment service - Connect Employment.

Sunbeam House Services was established under the direction and management of Mr. John Giles, where he remained until 1998. An industrial training centre was set up in the old stables and coach houses of Vevay House, to train teenagers with intellectual disabilities to take part in open employment.  The centre opened with nine young people and two staff.

Newcourt school became the first multi-denominational and co-educational national school to be recognised by the Department of Education.

A separate school was erected on the grounds of Vevay House for children with intellectual disabilities. It was known as Sunbeam House Special National School. It later moved to Newcourt Road and became known as Newcourt School.

The original building on Dargle Road was sold and Glenmalure Guest House, now Vevay House (affectionately knows as the 'Pink' House), purchased.

Dept. of Education recognition was given for a ‘Special school for the care of educationally sub-normal Protestant children’ – the first such residential home in the 26 counties. 

Name changes were considered, including ‘The Bray Suncure Home for Children’, ‘Sunshine House’ and finally, a few years later, ‘Sunbeam House’.

Lucinda died on 23rd August 1881, and her remains lie in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Harold’s Cross, Dublin.

Lucinda Sullivan opened ‘The Cripples Home’ in Bray after being offered a large building on the Dargle Road by the widow of Judge Philip Crampton.

On the Lake of Zurich Lucinda was on a boat that crashed and began to sink.  Her life flashed before her eyes.  She recalled her meeting with the cripple in 1862.  Lucinda resolved then, as a thanksgiving to Almighty God to devote the remainder of her life to nursing and caring for crippled children. She studied widely and became Matron of the Adelaide Hospital in Dublin experiencing the full horror and misery of diseases such as tuberculosis.

Lucinda Sullivan met a crippled man cruelly deformed by disease. He assured Lucinda thus: ‘Whenever you think of me, let it be as one to whom God has been very gracious’.
