The Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (RIAI) and homelessness charity the
Simon Communities of Ireland have launched their nationwide “Simon Open Door” campaign.
On 12th April in exchange for a €75 donation to Simon, members of the public will
get an opportunity to have a one hour consultation with an RIAI architect.

Hundreds of RIAI members are participating throughout the country and members of
the public can book a slot with their chosen architect via www.simonopendoor.ie.
This is the fourth year that the RIAI have supported the Simon Communities of Ireland.
Last year the initiative raised over €38,000 and the RIAI and Simon hope to exceed
that figure in 2008. All participating architects are giving their time for free
and every cent raised will go directly to the Simon Communities of Ireland.

Registration and donations for the event are transacted entirely via the internet.

Simon and the architects’ body have produced a “ten top tips” for members of the
public who would like to take part in the Simon Open Door Day to make the consultation
more productive.
