We provide help and friendship to those who are excluded and have gained some insight and understanding about what it means to be an outsider in Irish society today.

Through our advocacy and education activities we seek to share that experience, especially with students and teachers, to help create a society in which everyone is made to feel welcome.

Advocacy is a very important part of Trust’s work with education and media all playing an important role.
