All of us here at South East Simon and the wider community throughout the region, have been working together for 20 years to be that sanctuary for people who have nowhere else to turn.
Thank you for believing in people.

Martha sees first-hand what being settled can mean for people who have rarely felt rooted, if at all.
"We don’t give up on them", Martha says. "We all just want the tenancy to work, for the tenant to be truly settled - and stay settled for a long time."

Safe. Quiet. Family.
Three words Wayne associates with home.
For the homeless men and women trying to survive here in the South East, a safe, quiet place can be but a faint hope, if at all.
A basic human need.
Twenty years of South East Simon.

“Sleeping on the freezing cold concrete, it really hurts...I felt so low and so totally alone that Christmas, that I cried every last tear I had left in my whole, entire body.”
Christmas is just another day when you're homeless.

“It was three days before Christmas and I had nowhere to go. I was sleeping rough in doorways in Cork. I was so lonely, scared and cold.”
Left out at Christmas.
For Ruairí it was just another day.

Feeling hopeless & worthless, Stephen had already been hardened by the streets before he turned to us for help. We were there when he needed us.

#Christmas really is just another day when you're homeless. You have nothing, you're alone, you feel abandoned. But it doesn't have to be. And it wasn't for Andrew. You can help us make sure no one is left out at Christmas. https://t.co/tExmmhhImw #EndHomelessness#SouthEast
