The Irish Refugee Council’s (IRC) Education Fund supports people in the asylum process into further education, as accessing further education is not possible for most asylum seekers. As people working in social services and in higher education, in a University of Sanctuary, and as people who have worked with and conducted research with/in relation to asylum seekers and refugees for many years this is a cause that means a lot to us. Berni is a current member of the IRC and Muireann previously served on the board so we know the organisation well! We would appreciate any donations that you can offer, no matter how big or small! Go raibh maith agaibh!! Thanks!!
