To Whom It May Concern, 

This letter is to confirm that David Cotter, Conor Galvin and Richard Cruise are organising a Table Quiz to be held in Seapoint Rugby Club on the 7th October 2022 as a fundraiser on our behalf.

I am writing to you as the marketing/fundraising lead for Óglaigh Náisiunta na hÉireann (ONE), a registered charity dealing with Irish Defence Forces Veterans who need assistance and/or homeless accommodation. 

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, our fundraising has been severely impacted and we need to raise funds to maintain our services. We are asking if you could kindly consider supporting ONE. 

Further information on ONE is available on our website.

Thank you for considering this appeal, 

Yours sincerely, 

Wayne Fitzgerald

Marketing and Fundraising Officer


HOMES FOR HOMELESS VETERANS

The provision of accommodation and sustenance are achieved through our homes:


Ø  Brú Chostúim Athlone – 7 Bedrooms.

Ø  Brú na Farraige Cobh - Opened on 3rd October 2021 - €525,000 – 5 Bedrooms.

Ø  Brú na bhFiann Smithfield Dublin – 35 Bedrooms.

Ø  Brú Doire Feá Letterkenny - 7 Bedrooms.

 

Brú Uí Choileáin in Cork City is being planned leading to 60 bedrooms nationwide. Our residents contribute on a means basis towards their keep which includes all the facilities that one would expect in a normal home. Most of our residents have had extensive service in the Defence Forces, serving with distinction both at home and in various overseas missions with the United Nations. However, for one reason or another they now find themselves homeless and in need.

 

VETERAN SUPPORT CENTRES 

ONE has developed a nationwide network of Veteran’s Support Centres to provide veterans with information, advice, someone to listen and somewhere to meet with former comrades. It is hoped that by providing early intervention, we can alleviate social stresses and significantly reduce homelessness among veterans. 

Veteran Support Centres staffed by volunteer members are now located in: Athlone; Athy; Casement Aerodrome; Cavan; Cathal Brugha Barracks (Dublin); Collins Barracks and Cobh (Cork); Curragh Camp; Dundalk; Finner Camp; Galway; Kilkenny; Limerick; McKee Bks (Dublin); and Wexford.
 
COUNSELLING

ONE offers a counselling service and is there to listen and to provide veterans with direct access to a designated Veteran Support Team and ONE’s Confidential Counselling Service. ONE has male and female counsellors on our team who are available to meet over the phone or in person.

Veteran Support Officers (Counsellors) are located in:
 

Ø  Head Office in partnership with the Leopardstown Park Hospital Trust.

Ø  Brú na bhFiann in partnership with HSE Dublin North Community Healthcare Area.

Ø  Cork – Being planned in partnership with HSE, Cork/Kerry Community Healthcare Area

 

APPEAL

We are appealing for your support to:


Ø  Help fund ONE Homes for homeless veterans.

Ø  Help ONE to put in place preventative measures to avert homelessness.

Ø  Help ONE with the provision of other support services for Defence Forces Veterans.

Ø  In short, Help ONE to make Ireland one of the best places to be a Veteran.
