A partnership with Cork Simon demonstrates your care and commitment to your community. Our Corporate Partnerships Team is here to work with you to achieve your corporate social responsibility goals. We will work with you to create a strategic plan that will benefit your company and help in the fight against homelessness.

BECOME A CORPORATE PARTNER

Becoming a charity partner has so many benefits and I want to work with you to create a plan that’s tailored to meet your strategic objectives.

We can offer your company sponsorship opportunities that will benefit your company and benefit men and women who are homeless here in Cork.

We can create a partnership together that promotes positive and sustainable change within our community.

GET YOUR STAFF INVOLVED

Having your employees actively involved in the causes your company supports is proven to help enhance teamwork, employee loyalty and productivity. When your employees are actively involved, we are helping to fight homelessness together.

We have a busy calendar of EVENTS for you and your colleagues to join at any time of the year. Support Cork Simon’s Coffee Morning, the Great Cork Simon Supper and Cork Simon Christmas Jumper Day campaigns. These are excellent opportunities to get your team together and join the fight against homelessness.

Let me know if you have a better idea - I'm here to support you every step of the way. Contact me today.

CORPORATE DONATION

A corporate donation is one of the simplest ways you can demonstrate your company’s commitment to helping fight homelessness here in Cork.

MATCHED FUNDING

Your company may facilitate Matched Funding for staff fundraising activities in the workplace, for staff who have fundraised individually outside of work or for donations your company makes directly. Matched Funding will double the funds and have twice the impact for the men and women using our services. Enquire if your company facilitates Matched Funding.

PAYROLL GIVING

Payroll giving is an easy way to donate a regular amount each month.

I'm really looking forward to hearing about your plans.

Tom.

50 years of Cork Simon

Anton Wallich-Clifford, a probation officer working in London in the fifties and sixties, founded the Simon Community in London. He travelled to Cork in 1971 to help found Cork Simon Community. A small group of volunteers immediately started a regular count of the number of people sleeping rough and established a nightly Soup Run - a service that continues to operate to this day.
