Resources for teachers/students
Dublin Simon Community was founded in 1969 when a group of Trinity and UCD students, inspired by Simon founder Anton Wallich-Clifford, began a nightly soup run on the streets of Dublin. For over 40 years Dublin Simon has maintained its strong links with colleges and schools around the city, bringing the issues surrounding homelessness directly into the classroom.
In order to generate awareness about homelessness and the work that we do here at Dublin Simon Community we offer schools and colleges speakers from Dublin Simon to address the classroom. If you would like someone to visit your school or college please call 6715551 or email
