This year’s event marks 55 years of essential service to those in need.
Hosted by radio and tv personality Ray D’Arcy, featuring the acclaimed RTÉ Concert Orchestra and performances from beloved artists Mary Black, Mary Coughlan and Angeline Ball, Shobsy, Stephen James Smith and Eddie Winston.
Speaking about the Sing for Simon launch, Dublin Simon Community Director of Fundraising and Communications Emma Kilkenny said, “Winter is undoubtedly the most challenging time for those vulnerable in our society, and we are counting on the public’s generosity this festive season to support those who need it most. Sing for Simon is set to be an inspiring and heartfelt evening with the RTÉ Orchestra. It’s a chance to gather together as a community, enjoy the talents of those involved, and make a real difference.”
The importance of Dublin Simon Community’s work is further emphasised by Gay Mooney, a long-time volunteer: “I’ve seen firsthand how life-changing the support can be for individuals and families facing homelessness. This concert is not just about raising funds; it’s about raising hope and bringing people together during a time when compassion is needed most.”

“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” is a fun and exciting, original, live-action series starring Jude Law as a mysterious character (“Jod”) whose true motives are shrouded in mystery.
The series follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.
