We’re truly proud to stand with Galway Simon Community and the incredible work they do every day tackling homelessness in the West of Ireland. Yesterday staff and management from Acorn Life DAC and Ask Acorn had the privilege of coming together with the Galway Simon Community to mark the establishment of the €750,000 Acorn Capital Development Fund. Speaking at the event Karen Golden CEO Galway Simon Community highlighted that "the fund will enable the Galway Simon Community to carry out more developments to meet the housing needs of some of the most marginalised people in our Community. As and when finance from central government is secured, the Capital Development Fund will be replenished, thereby enabling further future developments." While our founder Gerry O Connell emphasised our historical and continuous partnership and that "We want to support Galway Simon Community in their mission to prevent homelessness and build pathways out of homelessness for people in the West of Ireland. We want to make a sustainable and scalable impact that is about strengthening their work so that individuals and families facing housing insecurity can find stability, dignity, and hope for the future.” Special thank you to the PorterShed for hosting and the Tribe Hospitality Group for the catering. #Galway #GalwaySimonCommunity
We are deeply grateful to Gerry O’Connell and all the team at Acorn Life Group for believing in what we do and supporting our vision by establishing the €750,000 Acorn Capital Development Fund. It is hard to put into words the impact this funding will have on the people we support. The Fund will enable us to carry out more developments to meet the housing needs of some of the most marginalised people in our Community. As and when finance from central government is secured, the Capital Development Fund will be replenished, thereby enabling further future developments.
