COPE Galway is a local Galway Organization whose vision is an “Improved Quality of Life in a Home of your Own” for people affected by homelessness, women and children experiencing domestic abuse, and older people.
Anthony added “Homelessness in Ireland is at unprecedented levels. Over 10,000 men, women and children are currently experiencing homelessness in Ireland. Our goal is to raise much needed funds for Cope and bring awareness to this crisis in Galway and across Ireland.”
