**A charity event which used a specially designed website to conduct all transactions
has raised €40,000 for a homeless charity in the Irish Republic. Simon Open Door
was organised with the support of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland.**

The money was raised by people booking a free consultancy with an architect and 
making a €50 donation to the Simon Communities of Ireland. Participants booked and
paid online while the architects throughout Ireland also registered their involvement.

Last year the event raised €25,000 and the architects and Simon have confirmed that
the event will be run again next year.
