#DoingThingsDifferently: Our 2024 - 2029 strategy launches today. In 2024, we are facing a growing homelessness crisis in Northern Ireland. At Simon Community, we need to do things differently if we are to achieve our mission of ending homelessness and achieving a society where everyone has place to call home. Our strategic plan for the next 5 years aims to do just that. Learn More ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ghRaushD
