GIVE WEST: Support Us To End Homelessness In The West

Sleep Out

Host a Sleep Out for Simon in your school at any time throughout the School year. It’s a great team building and fun event for all involved in it.

– learn about homelessness

-make a positive impact in their local community.

-earn LCVP points

Join hundreds of students from Galway, Mayo and Roscommon for one night, with one purpose, to ensure everyone has a bed to sleep in every night in a place they call home.

There are many ways your school, college or youth group can get involved with Galway Simon Community. From hosting a school talk to fundraising and volunteering, you can help us end homelessness for good.

Schedule a talk in your School or Youth Group

Every year we deliver Youth Advocacy talks to schools, colleges and youth groups across Galway, Mayo and Roscommon. The interactive programme enables young people to understand the causes and solutions to homelessness, helps build social awareness and encourages students to get involved and become a part of the solution.

Our talks are delivered free of charge by Galway Simon staff members but participation in fundraising events to support the organisation is encouraged.
