RSUA was delighted to visit one of Simon Community’s family accommodation services in West Belfast recently, providing the opportunity to see first-hand the support Simon Community provides to families experiencing homelessness across Northern Ireland.
The visit to Conway Court highlighted the impact of Ask An Architect donations on tackling homelessness. Through our partnership with Simon Community, the Ask An Architect (AAA) initiative offers members of the public access to professional advice from a chartered architect, with funds raised through the scheme going directly to Simon Community’s services.
As demand for homelessness services continues to grow, collaboration between organisations has never been more important. By combining expertise and resources, partnerships like this help raise awareness, generate vital income and strengthen our collective response to homelessness across Northern Ireland.
Thank you to Director of Services, Kirsten Hewitt, Senior Partnerships and Engagement Manager, Rebekah Barr and Conway Court Accommodation Manager, Elaine Ellis for facilitating the visit to the Conway Court service.
