Galway Simon Community has been working with people who are homeless or at risk or homelessness since 1979. Over that time it has provided soup runs, a shelter, residential houses, a charity shop and more recently a resettlement project, move-on housing and a drop in day centre as well as other assistance to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
In addition to service provision Galway Simon Community is concerned with advancing the rights of people who are homeless, and act as advocates for their rights. For Galway Simon Community homelessness is about more than being without a roof or a house. It is about lack of shelter, lack of security, lack of belonging and lack of safety. The organisation has received wide support from the people of Galway, and its philosophy of caring and acceptance has been endorsed by the many volunteers and supporters of Galway over the years.
Galway Simon Community currently operates ten housing projects which offer a range of supported housing options with varying degrees of independence. Seven of the ten projects are open to both men and women. Some projects are ‘homes for life’ whilst others are designed for those who wish to remain for a while and then move on.

The Myasthenia Gravis Association is a charity working throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. The charity offers support to Myasthenics and their families, increasing public and medical awareness while raising funds for research in order to find a cure. While recent research has increased understanding and encouraged better management of the disease, there is still no cure.
Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children
A childhood cancer diagnosis devastates and affects every part of family life. The NI Cancer Fund for Children provides practical, emotional and financial support to the entire family when a child has been diagnosed with cancer. The family will be very distressed as they cope with constant tests, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy so the NICFC supports the child, siblings, mums and dads separately and as a family unit so they can better support each other through this traumatic time.
Qualified youth workers and trained family workers support children and parents. Financial grants help families pay for traveling to hospital, home heating and traveling outside NI for essential treatment. Families get a chance to be a family again at Shimna Valley holiday house (Newcastle), where all cooking and cleaning is provided – they meet other families dealing with similar experiences. Families leave Shimna Valley refreshed, nourished and robust. They return to their homes, schools, communities and places of work re-energised and better able to cope with the next hurdle on their very own cancer journey. For those families needing a private break a self catering cottage is provided by an idyllic river bank in Coleraine. A Bereavement Support Service is also available for those families who have lost a child.
In 2008 the charity began supporting children who have a parent diagnosed with cancer. The ‘Young Shoulders’ programme supports children and young people who are living every day with the fears and anxieties associated with having a mum or dad diagnosed with cancer.
