About

Galway Simon Community was set up in 1979 by a group of volunteers. They started doing a soup run initially twice weekly but were soon going out every night. The first soup run met only one person, Paddy Curran, a retired soldier. More rough sleepers were soon found, especially with the help of Dennis Connolly.With the support of the wider community we have grown, developed, learned and adapted over the years to become a leading provider of homeless services across Galway, Mayo and Roscommon.Fast forward to 2024 and today we have houses and apartments across Galway City and County, Mayo and Roscommon which provide homes to over 180 people at any one time. Over the years, the breadth of our services has expanded and as well as providing housing, we also provide Prevention & Tenancy Sustainment and Health & Wellbeing Services.
