This fund is dedicated to helping people in the Republic of Ireland to welcome and support Ukrainian refugees into local communities. It is supported by the Community Response Coalition, a growing group of corporates and foundations, anchored by Deloitte Ireland and supported by AWS InCommunities and Communities for Ukraine.
"Hosting has been one of the most enriching and positive experiences I have ever had. Starting this I had no expectations as to what to expect. If you had told me I would take a stranger into my home and that we would end up being the best of companions and share such rich life experiences, I would never have believed it. Having access to a range of different supports and resources to help guide the experience and provide structure is hugely important and very valuable. It has been an utter blessing and I consider myself incredibly lucky - I cannot recommend it enough."
