Depaul UK

About the Company

Depaul UK is a national homelessness charity that aims to end homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it.

We help young people who are homeless and disadvantaged fulfil their potential in the community - and support more than 3,100 people a year.

We protect young people by finding them a place to call home, prevent them from becoming homeless by rebuilding family relationships, and give them the chance to take part in volunteering, training and education. Depaul UK also offers through-the-gate support to young offenders.

Depaul UK relies on the support of companies, trusts and foundations, and communities to help us do our work. We love to hear from anyone who would like to support us through fundraising, charity-of-the-year partnerships, grants or volunteering.
