Homeless agency gifted over €1m in wills last year

A six-figure bequest was among €1m in wills received by a homeless agency last year.

The donations helped bring the Dublin Simon Community out of the red as it battles against reduced funding and increased demand for its services.

Yesterday, Dublin Simon confirmed it received two large cash bequests last year, with the highest being over €350,000. Monies from wills more than tripled overall to €1.056m.
