Summary

The Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People is a charitable voluntary service founded in 1969 by Brother Kevin Crowley of the Capuchin Franciscans Province of Ireland. Following Br Kevin’s retirement, the Centre is seeking to recruit a Chief Executive Officer. The Centre provides a food service, serving breakfast and lunch six days a week. It provides food parcels, family services, clothing, access to showers and hygiene products, and advocacy services.
