Walkers to be tested in Toonagh

THE Toonagh Walk will take place on Sunday, January 20 at 12.30pm. Three routes offer walkers 3k, 5k and 10.5k options. All proceeds from the walk this year go to Mid-West Simon Community for services in County Clare.
The charity provides services to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. These services in Clare are based in their charity shop on Woodquay in Ennis where people with accommodation issues can drop in to get information and advice on how to approach their difficulty to achieve the best possible outcome.
With the recent purchase of an apartment in Ennis, the organisation is actively providing real solutions for vulnerable people. This property will become home, offering security and comfort, to a small family in the very near future.
The community service includes moving people out of homelessness into independent living,  long-term, supported accommodation, tenancy sustainment, outreach services, appropriate tailored support provided by housing support officers, housing advice and advocacy service, service user participation programme, school and college awareness raising presentations, third-level student placements and campaigns, advocacy and social policy.
Registration for the walk takes place at Toonagh Hall at 11.30am. Refreshments will be served after the walk. Further information is available from Breda on 085 1947763 or 065 6837380.
