Daisyhouse, a registered charity and Approved Housing Body has supported women out of homelessness.Women become homeless for different reasons- domestic violence, sexual abuse, sexual violence, addiction, ill health, relationship breakdown, trafficking, coming out of state care, loss of income and other complex traumas. All of the women who are referred to us have faced a combination of these complex challenges. When this happens, they need support, time and a safe space where they can start to rebuild from the trauma of their past experiences, feel safe and secure and, in time, move forward in their lives. Daisyhouse provides this support, time and safe space. Daisyhouse provides supported temporary accommodation combined with uniquely tailored individual personal support programmes to women who are homeless. We provide this service for 18 month periods so these women can break the cycle of homelessness and be empowered to move forward to independent sustainable living.

Barretstown offers free therapeutic programmes at our unique specially designed campus in Co. Kildare and through outreach programmes in hospitals and schools throughout Ireland, for children and their families living with a serious illness. When a child is seriously ill, their life becomes about everything they can’t do anymore, and they can stop feeling like a regular child. Even when they physically start to get better, the psychological scars of their illness, or that of their siblings, can remain, eroding confidence, diminishing self-esteem and coping skills. Barretstown empowers and encourages each child to step out of their comfort zone and re-build their confidence through our medically endorsed therapeutic programmes. They start to discover the magic of being a child again. Since opening the gates of Barretstown in 1994, Barretstown has served over 85,000 children and family members living with serious illness. Childhood stops for seriously ill children. At Barretstown we Press Play.
