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
