ASSOCIATED CHARITIES TRUST COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Associated Charities Trust (ACT) Thomond House is a Limerick-based charitable organisation dedicated to providing safe, stable housing and a comprehensive suite of support services for people at risk of homelessness. Operating a housing-led model, ACT assesses each client's needs and creates a personalised stability pathway, offering emergency accommodation for women over 18, long-term homes for women over 50, and transitional housing for women, men and families.

The charity's services extend beyond shelter, delivering practical assistance that helps residents move from crisis to integrated community living - a mission summed up in its pledge to "bridge the frontiers of homelessness." ACT also participates in the EU-funded FEAD programme and is advancing a strategic plan to develop the "Mirth" Permanent Supported Housing Scheme, an 18-unit development of one-bedroom apartments adjacent to Thomond House. Through these initiatives, ACT Thomond House plays a vital role in addressing Limerick's housing shortage and supporting vulnerable individuals on their journey to lasting independence.
