Madam, – In 1969, a small number of volunteers, mostly students from Trinity College and UCD, began providing food to people experiencing homelessness on the streets of Dublin. That marked the beginning of the Simon Community in Ireland, and next month we are planning a series of events to mark the 40th anniversary.
With this in mind, we would like to establish contact with anyone who has been a Dublin Simon Community volunteer or service user any time in the past 40 years. Interested parties can contact me directly at 01-6715551 or at the address below. Confidentiality is guaranteed. –Yours, etc,
