285/365: Sabrina O’Reilly, Fatima, Dublin

I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there, in cosy wee homes, who regard Sabrina as a literal angel. She’s worked in various parts of the housing sector throughout her career (even as a mortgage broker) but what she has always dreamed of doing was setting up her own housing charity. After years of applications, forms and miles of red tape, she finally launched Bridge Housing.

What they do, with their small but mighty team, is unbelievable. They provide housing and support to people from all walks of life, whether someone is aging out of the care system, escaping a bad situation at home, living in emergency accommodation or recovering from addiction. What Sabrina’s team does is not just provide them with a roof over their heads, but also a network and support system that they can lean on while they settle in.
