The Depaul Trust believes that everyone should have a place to call home and a stake in their community. Our aim is to work with those who are socially excluded and marginalized by providing a quality led service in order to produce the best possible outcomes for those accessing our services. We strive to empower our residents to make choices and decisions about the way they live their lives. We work in partnership with central and local government, housing associations and other non-governmental organisations such as the Society of St Vincent de Paul.
