Northern Ireland homeless charity Simon Community NI has garnered major support with a new partnership.
The leading charity has partnered with corporate law firm A&L Goodbody (ALG), which will see the company's 140-strong team in Belfast deliver a number of creative fundraising activities.
Simon Community NI offers specialist support services including homelessness prevention, accommodation services, health, well-being and practice development and young people's support services.
This partnership will also give ALG employees the opportunity to volunteer their time and provide their legal expertise on a pro bono basis to support Simon Community NI and its clients
Welcoming the partnership, Brian Shanks, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Simon Community NI, said: "Corporate, charity partnerships play a really important role in supporting Simon Community in our efforts to end homelessness in Northern Ireland.
"Through a combination of fundraising, volunteering and pro bono they can help us in a variety of ways to effectively impact our work. We are excited to partner with a well-known and prestigious legal firm such as A&L Goodbody and look forward to exploring potential opportunities to work together over the coming months."
Michael Neill, Head of Office at ALG in Northern Ireland, added: "ALG has always been committed to investing in the passions and interests of our employees and clients – be they in sport, arts and culture, or charitable and community endeavours.
"Through our CSR programme, we have been proud to partner with several charities and social enterprises working across Northern Ireland – including the Welcome Organisation, Business in the Community NI, Arts & Business NI, Aspiring Solicitors and Inspire. We very much look forward to working with Simon Community NI in this latest partnership."
