No-one wants a bad sandwich to ruin Christmas!!

As a self proclaimed Christmas sandwich connoisseur  , I am reporting back for taste testing duty in 2019 , to serve and protect. 

Trying and reviewing a new Christmas sandwich for 24 days, in December, I will take my duty very seriously to ensure YOU make an informed Christmas sandwich purchase this Christmas.

On top of this,  I am also volunteering with Simon Community through the month of December, helping with various projects. including serving and washing up their Christmas dinner , helping with the children's homework clubs, collecting donations at the Sing for Simon event and meeting past and present clients who use their much needed services and I will take you along with me to show where our fundraising will be going and those who will benefit.

Jim Dennison, Chief Executive at Simon Community NI : “We are delighted to have Laura-Ann on board with such a fun initiative that will deliver our mission to people who may be unfamiliar with our charity. We are further touched by her commitment to getting her hands dirty through volunteering to fully understand homelessness and our clients.”

“I know how I feel about turkey come Boxing Day and applaud Laura-Ann as she takes up the challenge. I urge people to get behind the initiative and help Laura-Ann smash her fundraising target by sacrificing the cost of a lunchtime sandwich.”

Every day in Northern Ireland another 50 people become homeless with over 13,000 children living in households accepted as homeless.  In the 18 months to February 2019, 205 people experiencing homelessness in Northern Ireland had their applications for social housing closed because of death. Now more important than ever, Simon Community’s work is saving the lives of some of our society’s most vulnerable. 

This Christmas, Simon will provide 382 warm beds each night for adults, young people and families with no place to call home. Get involved with #Sandwiches4Simon by donating the cost of a Christmas lunchtime sandwich to NI’s leading homelessness charity

Your support will help Simon Community continue to provide shelter and support to those who need it most, and they really do need it. 

Thank you so so much 

Laura-Ann xx
