FOREWORD
In May 2006 the Immigrant Council of Ireland published its first Directory of Migrant Led
Organisations in response to a need for a centralised information resource on the location of these
organisations and the services they offered. The directory was a very popular publication, much
sought-after by individuals and organisations seeking to engage more with migrant groups.
However circumstances have changed over time. While some migrant-led groups in Ireland are well
established, others are more informal and transient, and some responded to specific service needs and
have moved on. As a result, while a number of the groups in the first edition have ceased to exist, new
groups have emerged. In response to these developments, we have updated the directory with this
second edition.
The number and range of organisations featured in this directory demonstrates the vast contribution
migrants make in the civic, commercial and community spheres across Ireland. It highlights the range
of supports and activities conducted by small, often voluntary organisations, despite the lack of
financial support available to many of them. The directory illustrates the fact that migrants are actively
participating in Irish society and are active agents in the integration process.
This edition of the directory features more organisations than the first edition - 61 in total. Each entry
includes information provided by the groups themselves, in their own words, on their goals, services or
activities and relevant contact details. We would like to thank all those who have contributed to this
publication.
The ICI also would like to thank the Citizens Information Board and the Office of the Minister for
Integration for their financial support for this project. We would also like to thank ICI Research and
Integration Officer Fidle Mutwarasibo for initiating the project and overseeing the second edition,
Integration Intern Pamela Peris, who liaised with all the organisations and updated the information and
Communications Intern Emma Nyhen who edited the publication.

DISCOVERY MINISTRY
ORGANISATION GOALS
Discovery Ministry was coordinated by The Chaplaincy for the International Community, Church of
Ireland, Anglican Communion, Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough. The Ministry was put in place
to respond to immigration and integration challenges as they affect the Church. A further aim is to
provide pastoral and other assistance to those migrating to Ireland. It draws inspiration and
guidance from scripture, the Holy Spirit and Anglican Social teaching. In this ministry, there is a
listening ear to deal with individual, family or collective pastoral needs regardless of colour,
creed/religious affiliation, language or status. Discovery Ministry recognises all human beings as
equal members of Gods family and helps citizens and migrants create opportunities to build
loving, trusting and understanding relationships with one another, especially at local levels.

SEEDS
ORGANISATION GOALS
SEEDS is an independent group working to promote and guarantee human rights, equality and
full integration into society for asylum-seekers, refugees and migrant workers. SEEDS seeks to
promote racial, ethnic and cultural diversity in the North West thus maintaining a commitment
to promote equality and integration. SEEDS came about as a result of the concerns about
increasing racial attacks, verbal abuse, isolation of migrant workers, working conditions,
poverty, exclusion, language problems, visa issues, housing, education, health and social
cohesion. These incidents drew attention to the plight of migrants in Ireland in general, but to
the North West of Ireland in particular.
