The Simon Communities of Ireland have been providing services to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness since 1969. The first shelter was opened in Dublin in that year following on from an initiative which had begun in London in 1963.

Today there are a total of eight communities working in Galway, Cork, Dublin, Dundalk, the South East, the Midlands, the North West and the Mid West. Each local community is independent and autonomous but collectively form a federation called the Simon Communities of Ireland which provides a structure for working towards national goals.

If you, your school or your group would like more information on the work that Galway Simon Community do, then please feel free to contact us for information booklets or to arrange for one of our staff members to give a presentation to your group.
