There is a lot of different charities in Cork that work with the homeless and it is something that can hap- pen to anyone.” East Ferry Rowing Club will be collecting

will also be holding soup runs across Cork City. Mrs Deady explained:
“Over Christmas a lot of charities have too many volunteers and it is in Jan- uary when they really need them. We are going to all get together and do soup runs and help out after Christmas.” The volunteer soup runs
will be open to any mem- ber of the group over the age of seventeen. “We will be taking some
of the younger members as well. It will be for any-
one over the age of sev- enteen because we feel it will be very beneficial for the younger members to see the issues we have at the moment,” Mrs Deady said.
Helping Hands Home- less Action Group is based in Cork and aims to help those in risk of homeless- ness or who are currently living homeless. The group encourage
anybody who wants to get involved to visit the collec- tion on Sunday or Satur- day afternoon.
