Corlann is the new name for Brothers of Charity Services Ireland.
Corlann draws inspiration from cor, the Latin word for heart, and lann, the Irish word for place.
Together, they express a powerful idea: that heart is at the centre of everything we do, and that our purpose is to create a place of belonging for every person we support.
Corlann symbolises our determination to shape a vibrant, progressive future for our services, and to advocate tirelessly so that the people we support can shape their future.
