Support Us

The Simon Community is appealing for support to continue its fantastic work supporting homeless people.

We need your help!

We are an independent charity so our vital work with London's street homeless is entirely dependent on the generosity of individuals, organisations and trusts. We do not receive any government funding. All our projects - the houses, street work, the home visits and the campaigning - are all funded by the support of donations.

Because we have a very small staff and because all of our frontline services are delivered by dedicated volunteers, we are able to keep our overheads to a minimum.

This means that your donation directly benefits those who need it most, and that it goes a long way.

The Simon Community is appealing for financial support to continue its fantastic work supporting homeless people.

In this very difficult economic climate with the knock on effect of other homeless charities losing government funding, the Simon Community has to accommodate the needs of many more people. The community is struggling financially and with this appeal we hope new and current supporters will help us to be more financially stable in the long term by giving regular donations.

Corporate Sponsorship Opportunties

Simon welcomes the opportunity to work with businesses which would like to make a difference to the lives of homeless people in London.

Contact us to discuss tailored sponsorship opportunities.

Events @ Simon

We organise a number of sponsored events that you can take part in - check out the news pages for the latest information.

We are also more than happy for you to contact us with your own ideas for a sponsored event.

The Simon Community does not receive statutory funding.

We depend on the support from individuals and also from schools, religious organisations, and local businesses, who initiate collections or hold fundraising events on our behalf.

You could help Simon by holding a fundraising event in your local community. Please contact us for more details.

REMEMBER SIMON IN YOUR WILL

Making a will is the only way to be certain that your money and your belongings go to the people and the causes that are important to you. Leaving a legacy to The Simon Community will ensure that we are able to continue providing services to the most vulnerable of London's street homeless, well into the future.

Gifts in Kind

Donations of products and services help us to keep our costs down and we are fortunate to receive donations of clothes, sleeping bags and food from many people in the local community. Perhaps you could help us save even more money - you may be a company with products you could donate, or an individual with skills to share.

We have limited space and storage so are often not able to take furniture or things like duvets, but please give us a call, if we can use it we will!

Trusts Charitable Foundations

The Simon Community is very grateful for the support it receives from various trusts and charitable foundations, which help to fund training, salaries, the purchasing of equipment and general running costs.

We continue to seek additional support and would be very interested to hear from trusts which have an interest in homelessness.
