Depaul Diaries – Autumn 2025

Your kindness, determination, and generosity drive everything we do.

In this edition of our support newsletter, you’ll read how your support is transforming lives across the island of Ireland.

From Peer Advocates helping people access vital services, to families finding a safe place to call home, your generosity makes it all possible.

Inside this issue:

– Living Depaul’s Values

Our Director of Services, Dermot Murphy, reflects on how our community of staff and supporters work every day to protect the rights of people experiencing homelessness, while working to build longer-term solution to help them move forward.

– Lived experience helping others

Meet Brian, a Peer Advocate at Foyle Haven in Derry/Londonderry, who uses his own experience of addiction to support service users to access healthcare. His story shows how lived experience can inspire trust, resilience, and real change.

– The impact of your kindness

Thanks to your incredible generosity, Depaul now provides 44 services across the island of Ireland, supporting almost 10,000 individuals, including 1,366 families last year. From emergency accommodation to long-term housing, your
support makes it all possible.

– A family finds the home they need

Discover James’s journey as a single father of twins who, with the help of Depaul’s Homeless families service, rebuilt his confidence and created a stable home for his children. Today, he’s giving back by volunteering to help others in the same
situation.
