Galway Simon Community’s ‘Sleep-Out for Simon’ will take place on Friday 7th October in five locations across Galway & Mayo.

The flagship event urges local communities and businesses to show solidarity with those who haven't got a place to call home by sleeping rough for 12 hours and raising sponsorship for their effort.

The event comes at a time when the demand for ours services is unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

To put this crisis into perspective,  it’s shocking to note that in 2014, four families turned to Galway Simon in need of help, while so far this year we have engaged with over 40 local families facing homelessness.

Responding to this demand is only possible thanks to the generosity of our local community in their support towards fundraising activities like the Sleep Out.

Rise to the challenge and experience for one night what many people in Ireland face everyday, while helping to raise awareness and funds to tackle homelessness.
