Katherine will become deputy director of the Gurkha Welfare Association. During
her time at Simon she oversaw a growth in fundraising income to nearly ‚€4 million
annually. Christmas past, one of Simon’s major fundraising events, the House of 
Cards, which asks companies to donate to charity rather than send cards to customers,
raised a record ‚€680,000.

 

 

Dublin Simon is one of the capital’s major organisation’s working with the homeless.
