The money raised from this event will go specifically towards a homelessness prevention programme that will support families and individuals who are losing their homes due to unsustainable mortgages and unaffordable rent. Along with the professional advice and support there is also a very practical service provided through our food banks to help these most vulnerable people in our community.

Simon’s food banks provide the most basic of human needs - food. Right now, in the area in which we live, approximately 2400 people are attending our food banks every week! Food poverty is a real and growing problem among us. Research tells us that Ireland has the highest level of food poverty for children throughout the EU.
