This is very last minute, but with work, training and other events I'm only getting around to this now.  I'm supporting the Simon Community as we are rapidly approaching the winter season they are working to reduce homelessness this winter.  Nationally there are now 5,222 adults and 3,048 children homeless across Ireland which is very high.  I'm also supporting the ARC Centers, as Cancer is something which has affected us all be it directly or indirectly at one time or another and the ARC support centers across Ireland provide an essential supportive environment for those affected.  Both charities would appreciate any support.
