Women's Little Christmas

A uniquely Irish tradition that's still celebrated here in Cork - Nollaig na mBan or Women's Little Christmas. It might mark the day the Christmas tree comes down and the decorations are packed away, but there's one more Christmas celebration to be had - and Cork's women celebrate it in style.
Turkey Trot

The Simon Turkey Trot is the last Cork Business House Athletics Association race of the year - it usually takes place in early December. Runners must estimate how long the 5k route will take them to complete and the closest to their time wins. Santa suits optional!
Annual Ball

Our Annual Fundraising Ball is the social event of the year here in Cork. Usually held in late March or early April, Our Fundraising Ball is a sell-out each year with up to 300 guests attending from Cork's business community. It promises an elegant, stylish, glamourous evening in salubrious surroundings.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Cork Simon Christmas Jumper Day! Getting involved couldn't be easier: simply sign-up, set a date, invite your friends, colleagues or school mates, don your Christmas Jumper and let the festivities begin. Help fight homelessness this Christmas.
Coffee Morning

Every March we put a call out to coffee lovers to join us in the fight against homelessness by hosting a Coffee Morning in aid of Cork Simon. Hosting a Coffee Morning is simple: sign-up, set a date, invite family, friends or colleagues and enjoy catching-up. Every cuppa counts.
