Kilmartin's and The Grove back Midlands Simon

The Midlands Simon Community has paid tribute to the Kilmartin N6 Service Station and The Grove Service Station for their commitment to fighting homelessness.
Midlands Simon voiced its thanks to Kilmartin N6 Service Station and The Grove Service Station as they handed over the proceeds of their latest fundraising efforts.
“Over the last six years, Kilmartin N6 Service Station and The Grove Service Station have made a huge difference to people who are experiencing homelessness right throughout the Midlands by helping to raise almost €40,000 for Midlands Simon Community.
“The funds they have helped to raise have gone directly to the Midlands Simon Community and their fight to eliminate homelessness in the Midland counties of Westmeath, Longford, Laois and Offaly.
Midlands Simon Community helps people to move out of homelessness by providing emergency accommodation, supporting people to source accommodation, assisting people to move into their new home, and providing a range of supports to people to help maintain their new home.
Tony O'Riordan, CEO, Midlands Simon said: “Life often presents people with challenges and difficulties that they did not expect, which can be extremely difficult to overcome. Midlands Simon Community is here to face these challenges with all those who need our help.
However, we could not provide these essential supports without the type of assistance and partnership we have received from all in Kilmartins and for that reason we would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff in both Kilmartin N6 Service Station and The Grove Service Station for their tremendous efforts and especially to Damian and Rachel Kilmartin for their simply fantastic support.”
Speaking on the support, Damian Kilmartin said: “We are delighted to be in a position to help the Midlands Simon Community. We and our 50 staff members from both service stations are committed to doing so in the future.
It was important to all of us to know that the funds raised were to support people in our own local communities. We would like to thank all of our customers in both of our service stations for supporting us in our efforts to help the Midlands Simon Community.”
