This year's Charity Partnership sees HPE, DXC, Microfocus and ISS coming together to support Galway Simon's work in preventing homelessness, restoring dignity and rebuilding coming together to support Galway Simon's work in preventing homelessness, restoring dignity and rebuilding lives. Homelessness is now at a critical level in the West of Ireland and is growing year on year.

"There are 561 people currently in emergency accommodation in the West, almost a five-fold increase in just four years. This has resulted in Simon having to take urgent action to ensure that they can provide sustainable solutions to those facing homelessness and our support will help them to do that at a time when they most need help from the wider community and business leaders", said Karen Golden, CEO Galway Simon, speaking at the HPE, DXC, Microfocus & ISS partnership launch earlier this year.

Almost half way through the year and our executive car wash, bake sale, games night are just some of the events that have helped us raise almost 18,000 so far. This is an incredible group achievement and on behalf of everyone on the Committee I want to thank all of our colleagues in HPE, DXC, Microfocus & ISS for your kind support and willingness to step up in support of those facing homelessness in our local community.

We have some incredible events coming up which we would love you to come on board with, please follow our Facebook page updates on these: https://www.facebook.com/Tech-Giants-Galway-Charity-of-the-Year-2019-271845937048071/
