The Galway Simon Shop

The Galway Simon Shop is an important point of contact for the public who wish to support the services we provide. After a major rebuilding project the Simon Shop returned to 18 Sea Road in 2003.

 

The Galway Simon shop which is operating since 1987 is run by a Manager and a team of Volunteers, Community Employment and Job Initiative workers who ensure that the shop is well organised and stocked.

The shop sells bric a brac, books, unwanted gifts, small items of furniture and electrical items but the mainstay is good quality clothes, shoes and accessories.

All income from the shop is used to support Galway Simon Community's work with people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
 
We have also recently opened a Simon Furniture Shop in Shantalla, which sells quality furniture including beds, living room suites, dining room tables, wardrobes etc.

Donations

Goods, Goods!

The Galway Simon shop converts your kindness and generosity into funding our work which provides services for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. By spending a few extra minutes sorting your unwanted items before you bring them in, you help us to ensure the best value for everyone!

We sell only clean good quality items. If you give us something that is broken, or incomplete, we can't sell it, we have to throw it away. Last year this cost us €2,244, money that we'd much rather spend on our services for people who are homeless.

We can take saleable items such as clothing, accessories, books, CDs, records, tapes, videos, ornaments, pictures, crockery, linens and toys. We also welcome donations of small items furniture and electrical items if they are of good quality and in good condition.

We regret for that for reasons of health and safety and hygiene we are unable to accept, beds, mattresses or carpets.
 
The best way to donate is to take your goods to our shop on 18 Sea Road or we can collect the donated items from you. Please call 091 589415 to arrange a date and time that suits you.

Volunteers to work in the shop are always welcome and training will be provided.

The Galway Simon Shop provides a collection service mainly for small items of furniture. We also offer a delivery service and whilst we do not charge for this service a donation towards petrol costs would be gratefully accepted.
