What You Can Do To Help

Have you been wondering what you can do to make the lives of refugees better?

There are many acts, small to big, you can engage in and make a difference.

See a few below!

Educate Yourself

Understanding the facts is key to supporting refugees. Rely on credible sources for accurate information. Knowledge helps identify misinformation and enables meaningful engagement with others. Share what you learn with your community.

Participate

Using your voice in national processes helps shape inclusive policies. The new government provides a momentous opportunity to advocate for the rights and dignity of all people in Ireland.

Speak Up

Social issues in Ireland need political will. Use community advocacy to hold leaders accountable and push for inclusivity. Share your concerns with local representatives, follow policy groups, and join solidarity rallies.

Volunteer

Offer your skills and time, connect with refugees through compassionate activities, start or join a Community Sponsorship Group. Reach out to local refugee organisations to see how you can help.

Donate

Your donations make a big impact. At the Irish Refugee Council, a small independent charity with less than 20% government funding, your support provides legal aid, critical information, and integration support for refugees.
