Shaping lives in a time of change, we need your help at Oberstown.

At Oberstown Children Detention Campus, we are taking every action to tackle and reduce the impact the COVID19 crisis has on our campus, our young people and our employees.

As a result of the pandemic we are seeking additional temporary support to provide care to young people in detention.
