Education Fund 

Impact 

Over 150 people have been assisted into further education through the Fund with more people being supported each year. The Irish Refugee Council, and the students we assist, are very grateful for the support of Coillte, Gibneys, Community Foundation for Ireland, Mason Hayes Curran, Salesforce, The Quakers and also many individuals and families who have supported this work. 

If you want to find out more about our education work, inquire about applying for a grant or would like to organise a fundraiser or become a partner of our Education fund, please get in touch with our Education Officer, Charlotte Byrne.
