Its my way of leaving Cork a better place - Join me by leaving a gift to Cork SImon in your will.
If you are considering leaving Cork Simon a gift in your Will - thank you! An increasing number of our donors are choosing to remember Cork Simon in their Will – shaping a brighter future and continuing to care for people who are homeless in our community, even after they are gone. Any gift large or small makes a difference.

Considering your legacy is a very personal matter. Of course, you’ll want to think of your family and loved ones first. But you can also provide enduring support for the cause you believe in. And we would be truly honoured to be part of your legacy.

It is very easy to leave Cork Simon a gift in your Will.
You will simply need the following information for your solicitor:
Cork Simon, St Nicholas House, Cove Street, Cork, T12 DEH5.
Charity number: CHY9155.
Registered Charity Number: 20022914.

The most usual gifts are:

A sum of money, which can be any sum of money that suits your circumstances.
A percentage of the value of your estate - this is formally called a residuary gift. It can be from 1% to 100% of your estate - whatever suits your own circumstances. Just 1% would be a fabulous gift to people who are homeless here in Cork.

If you would like more information, please call our Legacies Manager, Leona Walsh on 021 4929 418 for a confidential discussion, or email Leona. Rest assured that you are under no obligation and your intentions can change at any time.

Thank you for considering supporting Cork Simon with a gift in your Will.

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.
