Imagine you have to leave your home at a moment’s notice. Leave behind your life, your job, and even your family. With just the clothes on your back and whatever you can carry.
Across Ireland, Depaul is working to support displaced people; refugees and asylum seekers in Direct Provision alongside the individuals and families fleeing war in Ukraine. Being without the familiarities of home, with few personal possessions and in the aftermath of an often traumatic experience can leave people feeling vulnerable and lost.
Depaul’s Support and Resettlement Fund will give displaced individuals and families the help they need to rebuild their lives here in Ireland. This means a warm welcome, compassionate and practical support. It means providing what’s needed to make it through the first day in Ireland and guidance and help to begin rebuilding a future here. Your donation will help to provide focused support towards resettlement and community integration for those who access these services.
Support items:
Basic personal items – clothes and toiletries.
Practical supports – travel support, phone credit.
Household items – bedding, towels.
Children and baby care packages – nappies, feeding equipment, toys, pyjamas.
Educational items – books, uniforms, school supplies.

Items needed to make a house into a home.
The Support and Resettlement Fund will be managed by Depaul, supporting displaced people across our services; refugees and asylum seekers in Direct Provision alongside the individuals and families fleeing war in Ukraine. Funding will be granted to service users on a case-by-case basis, where Depaul staff will assess the need and look to see if funds could be made available through other methods or if the allocation of this funding is necessary.
Thank you for your generous donations.
