Sausage maker Denny’s ‘Home Is’ campaign for the Simon Communities of Ireland has
so far raised €50,000.

 

Denny has made a contribution of €1 to Simon on behalf of each person who shared
their thoughts on home during a national tour or posted comments on www.homeis.ie.
Denny will also use the results of the campaign research to feature people in a 
TV ad in 2010.

The ‘Home Is’ campaign aims to help alleviate difficulties faced by those experiencing
homelessness, as part of its three year commitment to the Simon Communities.

 

The campaign, which will continue until January 2010, has seen Denny tour the length
and breath of the country in a ‘Home on Wheels’, and create special ‘homes’ that
have popped up throughout the country on main retail streets.

 

Tricia Burke of Denny says: “Home and family have always been important to Denny.
In our search to find out what home means to the people of Ireland today, we have
found that everyone seems to be much more aware how important home life is to them
and how difficult life would be without it”.

 

Simon says the corporate support is significant in the current economic climate 
where the Simon Communities around Ireland are at capacity and under increasing 
pressure in terms of funding.
