Cork Simon Community says it supported nearly 1,500 people in 2023 amid “unprecedented demand” for its services.
The organisation assisted a record number of people in Cork last year and it is now “meeting more people than ever before who are sleeping rough” with these numbers showing “no signs” of decreasing in 2024.
