MISSION STATEMENT
Cork Anti Poverty Resource Network
works towards creating a new society of equality
CAPRN advocates for respect between all people and nations; equal access to the resources of the communities in which we live in – social, cultural, physical and economic. CAPRN works in a way which, by our own practice in terms of commitment, clarity, generosity and mutual sharing, creates a process and role modelling among working class, marginalised people, who are at the core of what our project is about.
“Justice is the form that charity must take in our time”
TESTIMONIALS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
I was so lucky, of our by chance meeting. (Anon project worker) advocated for me, she comforted me mentally . I really wouldn't know what I would of done without her, as I felt quite distressed... thank you (Anon project worker) you are a credit to your amazing charity. July 2025
I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you again for the Domestic Violence Talk last week. The girls absolutely loved it - their feedback was nothing but positive. They really got a lot out of it and learned so much. October 2025
A number of them mentioned how valuable it was to learn from someone so passionate about the topic, and many also said they felt more comfortable hearing about it from someone outside of the school rather than from their teachers. I think that made a real difference - it created space for further discussion afterwards, and I had numerous students come up to me after class to thank me for organising it, which is not always the case with every talk we host. Thanks so much once again - everything about the talk was excellent.
