Services

COPE Galway is a Galway charity that provides services to the most isolated in our community including a refuge for women and children affected by domestic violence, accommodation for those experiencing homelessness and sustenance and social supports for older people at home. In the past year we delivered over 45,000 meals to older people to support them to continue to live in their own homes, a refuge and outreach support to over 280 women and their children experiencing domestic violence and over 13,000 bed nights to homeless women and men. Our fundraising and outreach activities aim to secure the financial and logistical support required to deliver essential services while promoting public awareness and encouraging positive community engagement.

Volunteering

Volunteers are vital to the success of COPE Galway. We are looking to recruit volunteers in two ways. The first is for our Reach Out campaign. In addition much of our work would not be possible without the support of volunteers. Today, volunteers play a crucial role, working in Community Catering, providing essential administrative support or raising crucial funds.
