Safe. Quiet. Family. Three words Wayne associates with home. For the homeless men and women trying to survive here in the South East, a safe, quiet place can be but a faint hope, if at all. A basic human need. Twenty years of South East Simon. southeastsimon.ie/20-faces

Martha sees first-hand what being settled can mean for people who have rarely felt rooted, if at all. "We don’t give up on them", Martha says. "We all just want the tenancy to work, for the tenant to be truly settled - and stay settled for a long time." southeastsimon.ie/20-faces/marth…

All of us here at South East Simon and the wider community throughout the region, have been working together for 20 years to be that sanctuary for people who have nowhere else to turn. Thank you for believing in people. southeastsimon.ie/20-faces/esme/ #SouthEastSimon #20Years #Ireland
