Galway Simon Community
Galway Simon Community was set up in 1979 by a group of volunteers who refused to accept homelessness on the streets of Galway. With the support of the wider community, we have grown, developed, learned and adapted over the years to become a leading provider of homeless and homelessness prevention services in the region. At Galway Simon Community, we support a person’s right to security, dignity and wellbeing in their own home. We are relentlessly committed to ¬finding answers to the questions faced by real people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. It is our belief that early intervention is the most effective means of reducing the trauma and cost associated with homelessness. We work with a clear vision in mind: A community where everyone has a place to call home. Registered Charity No. 20018962
