The Simon Community movement was founded in 1963 by Anton Wallich-Clifford, a former Probation Officer. It aimed to be both an altering, campaigning body and a venture in care designed to fill the gaps in the social services, acceptable to those rejecting help.

We provide a continuum of quality care, accommodation and services which support and empower people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness. In addition to service provision we are concerned with advancing the rights of people who are homeless, and acting as advocates for their rights. For us homelessness is about more than being without a roof or a house. It is about lack of shelter, lack of security, lack of belonging and lack of safety.
