Where your money goes

For every £1 you give to Habitat Ireland

• 86p goes to support Habitat programmes that offer families a hand-up out of poverty in NI & in our partner programmes around the world.
• 9p helps generate more funds to support this work.
• 5p enables good governance, ensuring funds are spent and programmes delivered in a transparent and accountable way.

Every donation makes a difference and helps Habitat work towards our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
