Strategy
Irish Chaplaincy provides support for some of the mostvulnerable people in the Irish com munity- Our charitable work
largely takes pla￿ behind closed lorlockedl doors, so there is litue thalis visible to the general public. Bulfor the lo n
and anxious people we see in bare prison ce115, gloomy poorty-appoinied flats, care homes. hostels. hospitals and
hospices. our visiL8 and casework actions make a gr&al deal of dllference lo their wellbeing. In Ihis past year the Irish
Chaplaincy's employees were assisleLf in these charitable acts'vilies by the ts.me and talents of 40 volunieers.
