Shannon Buckley Barnes fundraising for Dublin Simon Community
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. This June I will be taking part in Beyond the Trail and hiking 18km through the Wicklow Way to Beyond the Pale music festival to raise funds for the Simon Community who do extremely important work offering services and support to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Ireland continues to experience an ongoing housing crisis and any support is really appreciated. If you can help me to promote this page I would greatly appreciate it. You can share my page on any social media using the social sharing sections. 18km is a decent trek so I’ll be in the gym and getting a few practice hikes in before June to make sure I am ready. Thanks again!
About Dublin Simon Community
Dublin Simon Community was founded by a group of Trinity and UCD students in 1969, who began by providing much-needed soup and sandwiches to people who were sleeping rough in Dublin city centre.
In addition to the Soup Run, which still goes out 365 nights of the year, Dublin Simon Community provide many services which aim to help those who are sleeping rough on the streets, people who are in their own accommodation but at risk of homelessness and those who are at any of the stages in between.
