What is Sue Ryder Ireland?
Sue Ryder Ireland is a not-for-profit charity committed to helping older people live safely, securely and independently by providing supported retirement communities and accommodation across the Republic of Ireland. Founded in 1979 and inspired by Lady Sue Ryder's legacy, the charity operates a group of residential villages and support hubs that offer comfortable homes, social connection and person-centered care designed to enhance quality of life for seniors. Sue Ryder's services aim to empower older people to thrive with dignity and choice while remaining connected to their communities.
The charity operates nationwide throughout Ireland, with six retirement villages and communities located in places including Ballyroan (Co. Laois), Carlow, Dalkey (Dublin), Holycross (Tipperary), Kilminchy (Co. Laois) and Nenagh (Tipperary). These residential sites provide secure, supportive environments where older people can live independently with access to tailored care and community activities. Sue Ryder Ireland relies primarily on donations, volunteer support and fundraising - including income from its charity shops - to sustain and grow its services.

Each purchase in a Sue Ryder shop supports vital community services and contributes to a more sustainable circular economy by promoting reuse and reducing waste. Many of the shops also accept donated furniture and household goods, and volunteers help keep the stores running.
