Depaul Charity |

Our Vision is of a society in which everyone, across the world, has a place to call home and a stake in their community.

Our Mission is to end homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it.

• We celebrate the potential of people.
• We put our words into action.
• We aim to take a wider role in civil society.
• We believe in rights and responsibilities.

Depaul believes that everyone should have a place to call home and a stake in their community. Our aim is to work with those who are socially excluded and marginalised by providing a quality led service in order to produce the best possible outcomes for those accessing our services. We strive to empower our service users to make informed choices and decisions about the way they live their lives. We work in partnership with central and local government, housing associations and other non-governmental organisations. Depaul is an equal opportunities employer.
