Jumper Day 2021

Every year, people across Cork get together to help us support people experiencing homelessness by wearing their Christmas jumpers to work, school or anywhere they can to raise much-needed funds.

This year we’re asking you to host your Cork Simon Christmas Jumper Day wherever you feel safest doing it - in the office, at home or online with your friends and colleagues.

You can even host a Cork Simon Christmas Jumper Day with family overseas - jumpers don’t have borders!

Let's make Christmas extra special this year.

Say cheese!

Part time volunteering

Volunteers founded Cork Simon almost 50 years ago and remain at the heart our community. Part-time volunteers are active in everything Cork Simon does, from sitting on our Board of Directors to helping us to fundraise to supporting people to develop life skills such as cooking, literacy and numeracy.

Details of services and contact numbers if you are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.
Services team

Key contacts for our range of services, including Emergency, Outreach, Housing and Housing First, Addiction and Aftercare, and Personal Development services.
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.
Senior management team

Our Director, Dermot Kavanagh, reports directly to the Board of Directors. The Senior Management Team works with Dermot in running Cork Simon’s day-to-day operations.

“There was a certain spontaneity about the whole thing and once it got started, it had a momentum of its own and it was unstoppable.”
Emergency shelter

Our Emergency Shelter on Anderson’s Quay, in the heart of Cork’s city centre, provides round-the-clock temporary accommodation and one-to one support. Our emergency shelter supports men and women over 18 years of age.

Sponsor a Room

As a Room Sponsor you will be helping to save lives. You give a monthly gift, at an amount you can afford, to provide someone who is homeless with a safe room of their own, everything that goes with that, and a pathway to move into independent living. Believing in people. Read more
