the simon community


The Simon Community is a charity which helps homeless people, taking its name from Simon of Cyrene. We aim to reach out to support and campaign for people who are experiencing homelessness, and particularly those for whom no other provision exists. As a Community, we promote a socially just society and campaign for a society without homelessness. It means supporting people to move out of homelessness as quickly as possible and into permanent housing with a tailored support package for as long as each person needs. We work without judgement to support people who are experiencing, or are at risk of homelessness. Keep up to date about the activities of The Simon Community, by subscribing to the mailing list.
