Jumper Day FAQs

Christmas Jumper Day

Every year, people from all across Cork get together to help us support people experiencing homelessness by wearing their Christmas jumpers to work, to school, or anywhere they can to raise vital 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 Christmas Jumper Day with family overseas, as jumpers don’t have borders.

“We have a small community with a huge heart and the success of this whole event really is the work of many hands.”
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.
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.
