Ozanam House Community Resource Centre

We are a community project operated by the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, based on Mountjoy Square in Dublin's North Inner City.
We provide members of the local community with a vital stepping-stone to learning and development, safety and encouragement.

We have developed a wide range of programmes aimed at addressing the many needs of the community. We cater for over 500 members, who access 600 programme places each week.
Our community members range in their ages, from two years old to well into their nineties!

Society of St. Vincent de Paul

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) was founded in Ireland in 1844. It is the largest voluntary charitable organisation in Ireland.

Our focus is having a practical approach to dealing with poverty, alleviating its effects on individuals and families and seeking to achieve social justice and equality of opportunity for all citizens.

The Society promotes community self-sufficiency, empowering people to help themselves.

We coordinate various community programmes and projects, believing that access to employment opportunities, education and health services are key determinants of social well-being.

"The question which is agitating the world today is a social one. It is a struggle between those who have nothing and those who have too much. It is a violent clash of opulence and poverty which is shaking the ground under our feet. Our duty is to throw ourselves between these two camps in order to accomplish by love what justice alone cannot do"
