Communications and Advocacy
In 2019, Peter McVerry Trust continued to build awareness of the charity, its work, and the solutions to the issue of homelessness. With another year-on-year increase in media coverage, the charity was featured widely across broadcast, print and digital media platforms as it delivered evidence-based and solution-focused commentary.
Peter McVerry Trust also engaged national media, government departments, and public representatives through the publication of a Pre-Budget Submission in September. The charity also participated in the 2019 National Ploughing Championships Exhibition to raise further awareness of our regional services, and welcomed President Michael D. Higgins to the 40th anniversary of our first service in November.
