Crisis Appeal

The homelessness crisis is deepening – an urgent situation is becoming even worse.

Please send your gift today and show people caught up in this crisis they have not been forgotten.

There are more people at risk of sleeping rough, more people stuck in Emergency Accommodation, more people with nowhere to call home. Here in Galway, Mayo, and Roscommon, we will not forget our neighbours who are struggling. Especially those without a home.

For those experiencing homelessness, the deepening crisis means a deep-down-into-your-bones kind of fear. For parents in insecure housing, it means a deeper anxiety for their children’s future. And for everyone affected, it means a deeper gulf between where they are now and their chance of finding a permanent home.

 

People simply can’t keep treading water as this crisis deepens around them.

 

Your generosity can provide the lifeline they need, so, please make a gift today and help us provide immediate help to someone who is homeless in your community.

 

Right now, as the cold is biting, the risks are growing.

What we’re facing is a ‘perfect storm’ of problems – housing delivery falling short of already too low targets; landlords exiting the private rental market; and rents increasing, with too few homes available within Housing Assistance Payment limits.

The number of people in need is at an all-time high, but with your help, we can stop the crisis from deepening further.

As a local charity, we’re part of this community. We care. And we’ll make every last cent of your gift count.

At Galway Simon Community, we’ll stop at nothing to provide support and accommodation services to everyone who turns to us for help in Galway, Mayo and Roscommon. But we can only be there for people thanks to generous supporters like you. 

Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a whole community to provide a welcoming and safe place for everyone to call home. So, if you can, please send a gift today. Together, we can show that the real strength of people here in the West is how we support and care for one another – leaving no one behind.
