Outreach

JRS Ireland provides outreach to individuals and families living in IPAS centres and Emergency Accommodation locations nationwide (including pre-reception hotels, transit and temporary locations, re-furbished commercial buildings and tented facilities). 

The national programme of outreach includes frontline service delivery of Information & Advice Clinics in the Dublin region (including the North-East); Midlands; Mid-West (coordinated from the Head Office in Limerick); and the West/North-West (with the JRS Western Desk generously supported by The One Foundation). 

In 2024, JRS Ireland launched the RAISE (Regional Accompaniment, Integration, Support and Empowerment) Project, expanding service delivery to the South-East region.  The RAISE Project seeks to provide information and advice to enhance participation in the International Protection Process, and targeted integration supports to facilitate more effective access to mainstream services and the building of links with local communities.  In addition, a national referral programme facilitates the provision of targeted care and support for vulnerable persons nationwide, with a priority focus on disputed and aged-out minors.

The RAISE Project is being supported by the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund 2021-2027.
