Simon Community' holds a Living Advent
Official figures from the Department for Social Development (DSD) show that the number of households who presented as homeless in 2015-2016 was 18,628 - that equates to one in every 100 households.
Simon Community NI has spent the past 40 years opening its doors to give a welcome and shelter to those who are homeless in 22 communities across Northern Ireland and this Christmas they are celebrating each of those projects with their ‘Living Advent Calendar’ which was funded by a Big Lottery Fund grant of £5,000.
