About Us

Depaul is a charity helping people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness Depaul believes homelessness has no place. We exist to serve homeless individuals or families, at risk, caught in the spiral of homelessness, deprived of all control of their lives. When every door is closed to them Depaul is there because we believe they deserve help to rebuild their lives and progress to a positive future. We approach this: With compassion and a willingness to do whatever it takes no matter what. With expertise and professionalism so the most excluded homeless people get the help they deserve and are not overlooked or ignored. We don't stop there; we innovate when services are needed. We advocate for hard-to-reach groups and are willing to take risks to make sure services exist for homeless people. We want to end homelessness and change lives Depaul is a cross-border organisation working in 5 main areas of service provision; Prevention Families & Young People High Support Accommodation Health & Rehabilitation Housing Depaul shares close links with the SVP as one of our founding partners but we are a separate charity addressing homelessness.
