Ending Homelessness in Northern Ireland

More people are at risk of becoming part of the ‘hidden homeless’ community that has gone largely unreported in Northern Ireland.

It can be challenging at times but stay patient and positive and this job can be an immensely rewarding one.

Donald became homeless at the age of 22, when his family home no longer became a safe and suitable living environment.

I was only 19 and pregnant and had never lived away from the family home before. It was the biggest change that I had ever experienced.

On Saturday 10/9, the Belfast Telegraph & Sunday Independent will present their first “Music Against Homelessness” concert at Belfast’s Europa Hotel in aid of Simon Community.

Now more than ever, we need a functioning government to tackle the very real issues of homelessness, poverty and their related health consequences.

All of our fundraising efforts will go directly to Simon Community and their efforts, with a particular focus on learning and development.
