Daisyhouse is an organisation that provides secure affordable high quality supported accommodation to homeless women and provides them with the skills and confidence to move to independent living. Traditionally SI Dublin members have purchased a set of leisurewear (pyjamas, dressing gowns, slippers) for each Daisyhouse service user at Christmas. This year due to Covid we were unable to purchase and deliver anything, so the Club decided to buy gift vouchers to enable the service users to buy their own clothes. We raised €570 for them and sent the CEO of Daisyhouse a cheque. They bought a voucher for each service user for €35.  

Club President Linda Peters and Programme Action Officer Birgit Schmidt presented €2,500 to the CEO of Ruhama Barbara Condon this afternoon. The money will go towards their education and development programme.

Club President Linda Peters and SI Member Mary Troy presented CEO Sarah Benson of Women’s Aid a cheque for €5000 today in recognition of the additional need for their support to women and children suffering from domestic violence during the COVID pandemic.                                    

SI Dublin wish President Linda the very best for her year as our new Club President. We had a lovely afternoon meeting with everyone. A big thank you to Birgit for hosting the afternoon tea for us.  

SI Dublin held their Curry Night in aid of Chora Chori and raised €390.00. Thank you to Birgit & Mary who cooked a fabulous meal for us all.
