Peter McVerry Trust

Cause Description

Peter McVerry Trust is committed to reducing homelessness and the harm caused by drug misuse and social disadvantage. Peter McVerry Trust provides low-threshold entry services, primarily to younger persons with complex needs, and offers pathways out of homelessness based on the principles of the Housing First model and within a framework that is based on equal opportunities, dignity and respect.

Overview

Peter McVerry Trust is a national housing and homeless charity working to tackle homelessness, social disadvantage and drug misuse. Since PMVT was established in 1983, we have supported thousands of young people on the margins of Irish society.

In 2016, we supported 4,584 individuals across our many services, which include prevention, housing, homeless, drug treatment and Under 18s services. With your support we can continue to ensure that individuals experiencing homelessness are provided with safe, long-term accommodation and ultimately a key to their own home. 

Where Your Money Goes

Peter McVerry Trust provides a wide range of housing services to help ensure as many people as possible experience the positive outcomes that a home can bring.

So much of this work would not be possible without the continued generosity and kindness of our supporters.
