Working together and ending homelessness, charity Simon Community NI’s eight year partnership with award-winning Galgorm Collection hit the £72,000 mark this month. Thanks to the generosity of Galgorm employees and customers, the magnificent total highlights the commitment of Galgorm Collection to give back to the local community.
Choosing Simon Community NI as the charity partner of the year in 2010, Galgorm Collection have grown the relationship year on year. The £72,000 total has been raised through a variety of fundraising endeavours, with great effort and commitment from the teams across Galgorm Collection, Fratelli’s and Café Parisien businesses.
Galgorm Collection have been in a charity partnership with our friends at Simon Community Northern Ireland for over 8 years. We have found that working with Simon in the long term has enabled us to forge a strong and trusted relationship that means we can show our support in various ways. We got involved with the charity as we felt it was a good fit with our business, and the work they do supporting people who are homeless is close to all our hearts. As a local business we believe in taking a lead in showing good corporate social responsibility and giving back to the communities in which we operate.
