OGLAIGH NAISIUNTA NA HEIREANN

Óglaigh Náisiúnta Na hÉireann (ONE Veterans) is a national charitable organisation dedicated to empowering every member of the Irish Defence Forces community, from active service personnel to veterans and their families. The charity provides a free, confidential counselling and advocacy service, offering a non‑judgemental listening line that can be accessed by phone, text, WhatsApp, video or face‑to‑face, ensuring that no Irish veteran is left behind. In addition to mental‑health support, ONE delivers practical assistance such as emergency accommodation for homeless veterans, both Irish and, on occasion, those from other nations residing in Ireland.

The organisation’s impact is amplified through a range of fundraising initiatives, including the Fuchsia Appeal, the Sleeping Flags Campaign and its recent appointment as the GAA Charity Partner for 2025. ONE also engages the wider public through its Hope Couture streetwear line, which raises awareness of the challenges veterans face after service, and offers partnership opportunities for corporate and charitable supporters. By inviting individuals to join its veteran network, ONE fosters a vibrant community where every veteran can realise their full potential.
