About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

You will have an ability and interest in using analytics to help bring continuous learning and improvement to our activity. 

People tell us that the best thing about working at the Trust is the people and you’ll join a dedicated communications and public affairs team, in the growing fundraising and engagement directorate. 

Yorkshire is home to some of the UK’s most amazing wildlife and wild places but much of it is under growing pressure and facing an uncertain future. We are part of UK wide movement restoring nature, helping people take meaningful action and creating an inclusive society where nature matters. You will have an opportunity to truly make a difference in one of England’s largest regions, to inspire more people to notice, enjoy and take action for Yorkshire’s incredible wildlife and wild places.
