We know that not everyone in Ireland is treated equally. People living here continue to endure ongoing and unacceptable injustices that lead to lower life expectancy, violence, poor health and limited access to education among other difficulties. But we believe that a collective and focused effort can make real inroads. Inclusive action means elevating the voices of those directly affected – we need this to happen and we need it to happen now. Nothing less than a team effort will bring about the profound systemic change required to eradicate inequality.

Since 2016, Rethink Ireland has supported 140 awardees working towards achieving equality in Ireland with investments totalling more than €12.4 million. These investments have helped these organisations to mobilise more than 4,600 volunteers and reach more than 319,000 people.
