United Rise Ireland – A Place of Hope, Belonging, and Empowerment

At United Rise Ireland – Community Coffee Hub, we’re more than just a nonprofit — we’re a movement of dignity, unity, and shared humanity.

Founded with compassion and vision, our hub was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that everyone deserves a place to belong. Whether you are a refugee, asylum seeker, minority, or local ally, this is your space — to gather, grow, and rebuild with purpose.

Our warm, welcoming café offers more than food and coffee — it’s a safe, vibrant community centre filled with care, connection, and opportunity.
