We are a group from the Drumcondra and Santry areas of Dublin 9 who have come together to help welcome a family of refugees - likely from Syria or Afghanistan - to Ireland, under the Irish Refugee Council’s Community Sponsorship Scheme: https://bit.ly/3vZH49P.

 

We are raising funds to support a refugee family to be resettled in Ireland under the Irish Refugee Protection Programme. The funds will be used to support the family's holistic integration to Ireland during their first two years of living here. We are aiming for a minimum of €10,000 for this purpose. Any remaining funds after the two-year period will be offered directly to the family to support their new life and to spend as they wish. In the event the family does not take up this offer, the remaining funds will be donated to a registered charity that supports refugee integration in Ireland. Please note we are not a charity. Any queries please contact: [email redacted]

 

If you'd like to help, we are also looking for people to join our volunteer group to assist with fundraising, sourcing items for the family etc. If you’re a local business and would like to contribute to our fundraising efforts (i.e. raffle items, vouchers for shops, etc.), please get in touch.

 

For any questions, feel free to email or call us:
