Saoirse Domestic Violence Services

29/05/2026

The Child and Youth Outreach Team recently completed facilitating our first Parent Peer Support Group of 2026, and we were delighted to share the experience with an incredible group of women who showed such commitment, openness, and growth throughout the process.

Over the course of the programme, participants engaged in a variety of creative and holistic workshops including flower arranging, vision boards, and sound baths — creating space for reflection, connection, and self-care.

Peer support groups provide opportunities to share experiences, build connections, and access support and resources. Our Outreach Team were proud to support and facilitate this space, and we would like to thank all of the women who participated so openly and wholeheartedly. We look forward to continuing this important work throughout 2026.

“To be able to support women and children to live in safety, free from fear, not only as a staff member but as a fundraiser is really meaningful to me,” shares Kim, who’s taking on the Dublin City Half Marathon for Saoirse today. 🏃‍♀️

“I’m overwhelmed with the support I’ve received from my family, friends and colleagues. It’s really amazing to see people donating to such an important charity.

“In my role at Saoirse, I provide community-based support to victims/survivors of domestic violence to enable them to remain in their home safely. So, I know how much we rely on fundraising to be able to provide vital services to victims/survivors of domestic violence.

“Before Christmas I could barely run a 5k. I’ve always been an active person with playing GAA and going to the gym but running was something that I always struggled with. Doing the marathon for Saoirse has really motivated me in my training.

“I’m supporting an amazing cause and my fundraising efforts will help so many families in need of support.”

🧡 Huge thanks to Kim for going the extra mile for victims/survivors of domestic violence. Please join us in wishing her GOOD LUCK today! 🤞🍀

Thrilled with this coverage of our new Book Club for Saoirse Supporters!

"Domestic violence is a growing and urgent crisis in Ireland, and our services are more in demand than ever before. We really wanted to get more support for our charity, but also to find a way of doing that where we could really feel connected to our supporters."

That said, it can be difficult to know just what to read. If that rings true for you, then a book club could be the answer, and there’s a new Irish one that’s

During the most frightening time in their young lives, the children in our domestic violence refuges will still enjoy Easter treats this weekend.

Just some of the Easter eggs kindly donated to our refuges, so that families fleeing domestic violence feel the support of a community that stands with them.

Thank you to everyone who made donations this Easter. 🧡🥚🐰
