Launching soonWe’re getting ready to launch in autumn to winter 2026, and we’ll share dates here as they’re confirmed.

Who's involved

We're just getting started and the team is small. To register as a charity we need at least two more trustees.

Sheila has run a charity before and brings years of experience to this work. She is setting up the organisation and is the first point of contact while we recruit trustees and volunteers.

Roles we’re looking for

  • Treasurer
  • Safeguarding lead

  • Volunteers for gatherings and outreach
About the board roles

Join the board

Trustees are volunteers who share responsibility for running the organisation well. These are the roles we’re looking for first.

  • Treasurer

    Budgets, the bank account, bookkeeping and spending controls. Needed before we can open a bank account or apply for grants.

  • Safeguarding lead

    Our safeguarding policy, volunteer checks and training. Needed before any home visits or befriending.

  • Secretary

    Agendas, minutes, records and reminders, so the board runs properly and on time.

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine.

People live in each other’s shelter.

Help build the founding team

If you have experience with money, safeguarding or running meetings, or you'd just like to help, we'd like to hear from you.
