Depaul Ireland

Depaul Ireland has been named as one of 50 global community organisations to receive a grant of $500,000 in catalytic funding as part of the Citi Foundation’s 2024 Global Innovation Challenge, which aims to support solutions that address homelessness. Supporting people experiencing homelessness across the island of Ireland, Depaul supported over 10,000 people – including over 1,400 families – in 2023 as homelessness continued to reach unprecedented levels. Responding and adapting to the changing needs of their service users is key for the Depaul team both in Northern Ireland and the Republic. The landscape of homelessness is changing and evolving the services offered and training staff helps Depaul meet demands more effectively in Northern Ireland. Reflecting on Citi Foundation’s 2024 Global Innovation Challenge, Citi Belfast Site Head Peter Holden said: "We are delighted that Depaul is one of the three UK charities that have been awarded $500,000 to support individuals, families and communities locally. "These funds will help to enhance the important work Depaul Ireland does to support those experiencing homelessness in Northern Ireland and across the Island of Ireland. Underpinning our ethos of ‘living locally, working globally,’ the Citi Belfast team have been inspired by Depaul’s work and have proudly committed to further strengthening our relationship through added volunteer support.” https://lnkd.in/eYGeUBdk

On this EU Anti-Trafficking Day, we recognise the immense challenges survivors face, including the threat of homelessness as a direct result of their exploitation by human traffickers.  Today we are making a call out for more urgently needed support services for victims of trafficking. Earlier this year, Depaul Ireland partnered with The Passage UK to produce a groundbreaking report revealing how homelessness organisations in Ireland are increasingly coming into contact with victims of human trafficking. This collaboration highlights the urgency of what we are dealing with and the need to act. Read the report here - https://lnkd.in/e_qrsSWm Since 2023, Depaul Ireland, in partnership with statutory and NGO partners, has provided Ireland’s only accommodation service for victims of trafficking. We're committed to helping survivors rebuild their lives with dignity and security. Stand with us today - reshare to spread this message.
