The difference your gifts made in 2022

A core focus of MQI’s work is to deliver integrated services to clients who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. Our clients, in addition to the trauma of homelessness, often have the further complexities of mental ill health and substance misuse issues to deal with. It’s thanks to our very generous supporters that in 2022, we were able to help the numbers of people that we did.

You can read the full Annual Review here, but here are some of the numbers that we have been able to reach.

In 2022, MQI offered support to 12,764 unique individuals from different age groups, backgrounds, and nationalities, which is a 10% increase on the number of unique clients who accessed our services in 2021. Despite substantial challenges including the residual effects of Covid 19, we were able to offer a total of 97,736 engagements across our homeless, healthcare and addiction services in Dublin and Regionally.

Also, in 2022, MQI provided services to 1,019 non Irish EU/Non-EU unique residents, 166 young people and 668 people aged 55+. These cohorts of people have specific needs and in respect of youth, migrants and older people, the demand for our services continued to grow. Most recent data indicated that the number of individuals aged 55+ using the service in the period January to June 2022 had increased by 23% from the same period in 2019. Another significant cohort using the service is women. In the period 2017-2022, there was a 42% increase in women accessing MQI’s services.

Worryingly we are seeing an increase across so many of our services, and because of that, we still need your help this year, and into next.

Please give what you can to help.
