The team at North West Simon Community wish to acknowledge the generosity of the public this Christmas. North West Simon Community works with a vulnerable client group who often face difficulty managing their lives and for whom state services may be inaccessible without the direct support of the Outreach Workers.Mary Mc Keon, Development Officer says “Our Outreach Workers deliver a highly mobile early intervention and support service in Sligo, Leitrim & Donegal. The charity is heavily reliant on voluntary donations to fund services and due to Covid 19 we needed to postpone most planned activities. It is wonderful to receive your valued support at this time and thank you from all the team.”At the present time, North West Simon Community is actively supporting 104 households, of whom just 20% are in reasonably secure accommodation. Of the households, supported by North West Simon Community on November 1st 2021, 28 were Sofa Surfing, 13 were involuntarily sharing, 11 were in Emergency Accommodation, 2 people were sleeping in tents, 1 in a caravan, and 1 sleeping in a car.
