The Danú Project

Thank you to Unison Community & Voluntary Branch NI for their generous donation of £300 to The Danú Project in Donegal. Their donation will go towards maternity and baby products (such as nappies and wipes) for mothers living in the Direct Provision Centre in Donegal. Here is Andrew Bonner from Unison presenting Co-Ordinator Eve with their donation earlier yesterday.

Thank you to Vic at The Hygiene Bank Donegal, The Danú Project Donegal partner for donating these gift bags of hygiene products for families in Donegal living in Direct Provision. These will be delivered before Christmas. The project is now taking a break until mid January. If you have any donations of clothing, unwanted hygiene gift packs, nappies and baby equipment, please PM me or email: [email protected]. Thank you to everyone who has made a donation in 2022 for The Danu Project in Donegal including Greencastle Centre and Saint Eunan's College. Your kindness has meant a lot to the families! 🙂 Eve

Thank you to all the lovely staff and students who helped raise money! 💕

Don't take many photos of Danu deliveries but I think it's good to show the good people in Donegal the difference you make when you donate to The Danú Project here in Donegal. This is a photo of a routine delivery to the residents at the Direct Provision centre in Donegal.

Without your donations, this wouldn't be possible so thank you very much for everyone who has made a donation/donations since the project was set up the beginning of last year. Nappies here were mainly donated by a collection done by the community at Greencastle Centre and money donated by the UNISON COMMUNITY BRANCH.

If you have a donation of nappies or children's clothing (24months to 18 years) please get in touch either by PM or email:[email protected]. Thank you very much for all your support for the residents at the centre!

WHAT IS DIRECT PROVISION?
People who arrive in Ireland seeking asylum or “international protection” (asylum seekers) are offered accommodation by the State in residential institutions, under a reception system known as ‘Direct Provision’. The State ‘directly provides’ essential services, including medical care, accommodation and board, along with a small weekly allowance. The Direct Provision system is overseen by the International Protection Accommodation Service. The majority of the centres around the country are privately owned and operated, and the standards of accommodation and living conditions vary widely.

Thank you to UNISON COMMUNITY BRANCH for their generous donation of £300 to The Danu Project in Donegal. Their donation will go towards supporting the families living in the Direct Provision Centre in Donegal. Here are Niall and Andy from Unison presenting Co-Ordinator Eve with their donation earlier today. :-)

Thank you to our community partner The Hygiene Bank Donegal for organising a collection of hygiene products and maternity products for the families at the Direct Provision centre in Letterkenny. 💕
