Current Welcomers

You are actively helping newcomers through community welcome. This page guides you to find the right support at the right time. When questions or challenges arise, you do not need to manage them alone as we are here to support you throughout your welcoming journey.

By developing strong ties with your own community and coming together as one, you are enabling newcomers to build real relationships and local connections from the beginning, supporting their long-term integration into life in Ireland. We’re on hand to support you.

We are here

We are here if something doesn't feel right. Please talk to us early. We are more than happy to help you assess situations and identify appropriate support pathways.

As you move through your welcoming journey, there are many resources available to support you before and after your newcomers' arrival.

The Swift Integration App is free, available in multiple languages, and open to everyone. It provides up-to-date information about life in Ireland, including supports, education, rights, entitlements, and everyday living.

Our online training courses are free to access, self-paced, and offer structured expert advice to those who are welcoming refugees, hosting them, or working with them in a professional capacity.

The Peer Support Network allows welcomers to learn from each other. We host monthly online meetings where groups share their experiences, advice, and useful contacts, and offer a WhatsApp group where you can stay connected. Contact us to join.

Thank you for Welcoming. We’re here to help.

We'd love to hear from you. Send us a message.
