Of those who engaged with Ruhama’s services in 2022, 224 were seeking supports from the charity for the first time. Ruhama, a nationwide charity, offers counselling services, facilitates pathways into education and employment, and runs outreach services aimed at the most vulnerable cohorts of Irish society, including those in Direct Provision and homeless accomondations.
