By raising funds and awareness, you are ensuring vulnerable people in our community have a safe place to sleep every night and receive the wraparound supports they may need to leave homelessness behind them for good.

Galway Simon invites you to grab your warmest sleeping bag, get your flasks of tea and hot chocolate at the ready and organise a Sleep Out. Be it in your back garden in Tuam, at your local pitch in Boyle or your office car park in Castlebar, unite with hundreds of people across the West in the fight against homelessness. If you can’t sleep out on the night you can still show your support by donating to the Sleep Out for Simon via their website!

Galway Simon looks forward to welcoming as many people as possible to participate in the Sleep Out for Simon on the 3rd of October, be it from their back garden, at their workplace or by joining one of their Community Sleep Outs. By joining the Sleep Out for Simon you’re guaranteed to come away with a sense of pride at making a difference.

This year they have set themselves the target of raising €100,000 from the Sleep Out for Simon. 100% of proceeds will go directly towards Galway Simon’s Homelessness Prevention Services in Galway, Mayo and Roscommon, including their community support, youth, women and family services, ensuring the charity can safeguard these essential community services and support those in need.
