Why We Need Your Help

Government funding doesn't stretch to everything our patients need. Donations help us provide psychology services, essential medical supplies, mobility aids, and basic dignity items like personal care kits.

15,747 people are experiencing homelessness in Ireland

This is a dramatic increase of approximately 310% from 3,845 in early 2015. Homelessness has more than quadrupled in this period.

28% of International Protection applicants are children under 18 

Many arrive with complex health needs, disrupted care, and limited access to mainstream services.

Nearly 15,000 consultations annually. Six vulnerable population groups. Services across 7 locations. 

Thanks to the generosity of our funders and supporters, Safetynet Primary Care delivers vital healthcare services to Ireland's most disadvantaged populations. But the need far exceeds our current capacity.

Each donation brings healthcare closer to those who need it most: people experiencing homelessness, international protection applicants, Roma community members, undocumented migrants, people with mental health challenges, and people in addiction and recovery.
