Accord Dublin’s Annual Collection will take place on the weekend of 13th & 14th February. The demand for services is greater than ever. With counselling agencies of all sorts anticipating a “tsunami of demand” and Garda sources reporting a large increase in domestic violence, it is clear that there a great need for Accord’s services in our communities. We need those who need our services to contact us, those who support us to continue to do so and new donors to enable the work to continue.
Counselling continues by phone, and contact can be made via our centres or on our helpline at 01 9059555. Marriage preparation courses have continued via zoom, and can be booked on our website. To enable our services to continue to meet the demand, we need your support.
You can donate in the following ways:
- Online at www.accorddublin.ie where you will find a DONATE button.

The Holy Father Pope Francis presided over an extraordinary global celebration (Statio orbis) of prayer on 27 March 2020.
The Holy Father’s address is called URBI ET ORBI. It is very unusual for this to happen. URBI ET ORBI normally only happens at Easter and Christmas. More information.
