About

COPE Galway is a local charity providing essential social services in Galway. We respond to the needs of people experiencing homelessness, women and children subjected to domestic abuse, and we support older people towards healthy, independent ageing.

Our vision is for a community where every person is valued, cared for and supported at every stage of life. We are driven by the belief that everyone should have access to their basic human rights. We advocate for systemic change to address the root causes of inequality.
We have been improving lives and strengthening communities for 60 years. We work with more than 3,000 people each year across our homeless, domestic abuse and senior support services.

COPE Galway staff, volunteers and supporters are united in their commitment to creating change, supporting and empowering people who find themselves facing life’s toughest challenges.
We know that behind every number lies a unique person – a child, young person, an adult – each with their own individual story, their own hopes and dreams. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to create individualised, innovative solutions for each person’s unique situation.
We are innovators and thought leaders in our areas of expertise. Solas Óg, our child and young person’s specialist domestic abuse service; Meals4Health, our award winning social enterprise; and Helping Kids First, our project supporting the developmental needs of children in emergency homeless accommodation are just some examples of this.
