Cold Snap Next Week: How You Can Help 

/in , /by

As Christmas approaches, Met Éireann has forecast a bitterly cold week ahead, beginning Monday night and lasting through much of next week. Frost, ice, and freezing temperatures as low as -3°C are expected, making life even more perilous for those without a home. 

At Dublin Simon Community, we believe no one should face this festive season sleeping rough in the freezing cold. 

Our Street Outreach Team, operating 365 days a year, will prioritise those most vulnerable during this cold spell. We urge the public to help us identify people who may be sleeping rough, particularly in more isolated areas of Dublin city centre and the suburbs. 

Dublin Simon’s Soup Run and Breakfast Run volunteers will also continue their year-round efforts, delivering hot soup, tea, and nutritious food to people sleeping outdoors in Dublin city centre. 

Your generosity this Christmas can bring people in off the streets and into the warmth and safety of supported accommodation. 

Here’s how you can help: 

  • Report rough sleeping: Use the Rough Sleeper Alerts app, available on iPhones and Androids, to let us know about someone in need. 
  • Make an urgent donation: Your support today can help save lives this Christmas. 

Together, let’s ensure everyone feels the warmth of kindness and care this festive season. Donate now and help us make a difference. 

This Christmas, give the gift of hope.
