SECTION 1
IDENTIFYING NEEDS AND LEARNING MORE
These activities are based around understanding homelessness in Northern Ireland and the work of the Simon Community NI.
Learning Objectives – By the end of this session the Cubs should
• Understand what it means to have your own home
• Know what difficulties a person who is homeless can face
• Understand the different forms homelessness can take
• Know what Simon Community do to help people who are homeless
• The tasks in this session will help to develop many skills such as listening, teamwork and creativity.
Activity 1: My Home
This activity can be done as a pack or divided into groups.
Draw a large outline of a house and stick it on the wall/flip chart. Explain to the Cubs the difference between a house and a home. A house is just a building where you can find shelter, but a home is somewhere you feel safe and happy, surrounded by people and things which are important to you. Ask the Cubs now to think of 3 things that are special or mean a lot to them in their home. This could be a person, a pet, a game or toy etc, it doesn’t have to be things they really need but things or people that are favourite things. Ask the Cubs to draw these items and colour or label them and stick them onto the house. Discuss how they would feel if they didn’t have these things in their life or you can ask each child to remove one of their items and how it feels to have to choose.
Activity 2: The Story of Simon Bear (See Appendix)
Telling a story using Simon Bear will make homelessness easier for the Cubs to understand. This will help them to learn that all people who are homeless do not sleep on the street. It will also show that although living in a hostel provides shelter it is not the same as having a home of your own.
The story shows how Simon the Bear finds himself homeless because he has lost his job. Discuss the options that Simon Bear has – staying with friends and moving from house to house/ sleeping rough etc. The story shows Simon Bear moving into a Simon Community Hostel and being helped by Simon Community staff to overcome problems. It ends with him moving into a home of his own.
You could discuss how Simon would be feeling at different points of his journey. This would help the Cubs to empathise with how someone who is homeless might feel.
Activity 3: Word Search (See Appendix)
Activity 4 – Creating a shelter
Create a temporary home that would be big enough for Simon Bear out of materials such as cardboard, tinfoil etc in groups. Test how stable these homes might be by using a hairdryer to mimic strong wind and a small watering can or spray bottle to mimic rainfall. At the end of the task reflect on how difficult it would be to build a shelter that would withstand the elements. Ask them questions such as “would you be warm enough to sleep in their shelter?” “Where would you wash?” “Where would you go to the toilet?” “Where would you put your shelter?” “Would you have anywhere to keep your special things?”

SECTION 2
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED AND PLANNING ACTION
The purpose of this session is to recap on what the Cubs have learned and to plan action that will make a positive difference to others in your community. This session will help to develop teamwork and communication skills through discussion and planning. It will also help the Cubs to learn how to work independently and develop confidence.
By the end of this session the Cubs will have:
• Reviewed what they know
• Discussed the options for taking action
• Chosen their action and set a realistic goal
• Understood how their action will help others
Activity 1 – Headstart Quiz (See Appendix)
This will help the Cubs to recap on what they know about homelessness and the Simon Community NI.
This can be done in teams, where they compete against each other to answer 10 questions on homelessness. One person from each team goes head to head to answer a question and whomever wins gets a head start on a relay/obstacle course for their team. This could include things such as 5 star jumps, finding items in a ball pit etc. Quickest overall team wins.
Activity 2 – Choosing your action (See Appendix)
Discuss some options with the Cubs on how they can take action. This can include the options below or ask the children for other ideas. Put a large piece of paper on the wall and ask each child to put a tick underneath the action they would like.
High 5 for Simon
Ask family or friends to sponsor a task to be completed in their home. Each Cub should aim to complete 5 tasks. These could include:
• Loading/emptying the dishwasher or washing up/drying the dishes
• Vacuuming x rooms in the house
• Helping to shop/unpack groceries
• Helping to make a meal
• Gardening
• Washing car/vacuuming inside the car
• Feed and Walk a pet
• Prepare your own lunch
Steps for Simon
Hold a walk around local park and ask family and friends to sponsor. This can also be done in a Scout venue and Instead of steps, it can be a dance or fitness activity for a set length of time.
4
Sing for Simon
Hold an evening of Cubs singing and ask guests if they would like to make a donation. Tea/coffee at interval or end is optional.
Sweet Treats for Simon
Hold a bun sale or coffee morning for parents/friends.
(sample recipes provided) – see appendix.
Activity 3 – Planning Your Action
This should include your goals:
• How long are you going to spend on your action?
• What do you want to achieve – e.g. raise a certain amount
• How will this help others? – this can be measured against things that Simon Community do in your community – e.g. provide x number of Welcome Packs, teach x number of people cookery skills
• When are you going to do it?
• Where are you going to do it?

SECTION 3
TAKING ACTION AND TELLING THE WORLD
This session will be based on carrying out your action, telling others why your chosen issue is important and how you have helped to make a positive change.
By the end of this session, the Cubs will have:
• Completed their chosen action
• Informed others why this issue is important
• Shared with others what they have learned
• Helped to raise awareness of homelessness in Northern Ireland
• Informed others of how the action taken has helped in the local community
This session will help to develop teamwork, organising skills, communication skills and creativity. It will also help with confidence building.
The following activities can be modified depending on the chosen action.
Activity 1 – Advertising your Event (See Appendix)
The first activity should be to design a poster/leaflets to advertise their event or action. This could be done in groups or as a troop. This should also state what the event is for/ why support is important as this will form part of ‘Tell the World’.
Activity 2 – Reflections and telling others
This should be a piece of work where the Cubs can show others what they know about homelessness/Simon Community. The Cubs can all be given a general topic such as - What do you know about Homelessness? Or they can be divided into groups and each group reflects on a particular aspect - Why my home is important to me?/How might someone who is homeless might feel?/Why can someone become homeless?/How they are making a difference?
This work might include any of the following:
• Display Walls/Boards – Cubs’ work displayed on the walls/boards
• Scrap Books – Work made into scrap books
• Video/Diary Room – Cubs each record a short 1 minute video about what they have learnt and how they are making a difference.
• Cubs perform a short play
This can then be shown at a fundraising event if it is something like a bun sale/ coffee morning or at a parents/opening evening or their play could be the event.

Simon Bear’s Story
Simon Bear is homeless because he feels he can no longer live at home with his family. Daddy
Bear drinks too much alcohol almost every day. He no longer works and sleeps a lot. He also
gets very angry. This situation makes Simon Bear very stressed and unhappy so he decides to
leave.
After moving about to stay with different friends for a few nights, Simon Bear has now come to
stay in one of Simon Community NI’s hostels.
He no longer has to worry about where he will sleep as he has his own room for as long as he
needs it. The staff are all friendly and he knows he can talk to them any time he is worried.
There are over 20 other people living in this accommodation building, all with different reasons
for becoming homeless. These reasons could be getting into debt, ill health, no family of their
own, or many others. They are all just ordinary people who have gone through some difficult
times and don’t have a permanent home of their own.
Simon Bear makes friends with some of the people living in his hostel. He has a bedroom, he is
warm and safe but it still isn’t the same as having a home of his own. He still goes to meet his
friends Barney and Alfie in town or at their homes but he can’t invite them to Simon
Community as it is only for people who live there.
Simon Bear thinks about how much he would like to have somewhere of his own, somewhere
that might be a permanent home. First he must look at what changes he needs to make to his
life. He has regular meetings with a staff member called a support worker and together they
plan what help Simon Bear needs to be able to live independently in the future. He has never
lived on his own before so he needs to learn how to cook. He has never had to look after
money so he needs to learn how to manage his finances. He missed out on some of his
education so he would like advice on how to learn some skills or training so that he might get a
job.
One year later, Simon Bear is ready to leave Simon Community. He is now able to look after
himself, he has done a training course and has started a job. He is sad to say goodbye to the
staff at Simon Community but they tell him there will always be someone available if he still
needs advice at any time. Most of all he is excited about his future. He is happy to have a new
job and very happy to have a home of his own. Hurrah! Thank you Simon Community!

About us
Who we are
Simon Community NI is a local charity who looks after people who are homeless or at risk of
becoming homeless in Northern Ireland. We have been working here for almost 50 years. We
help over 3000 people every year from all walks of life - adults, young people and families, all
anxious for their future.
Our vision is of a society where everyone has a home and our mission is to end homelessness
for the people who need our help.
We believe that homelessness is more than putting a roof over someone’s head. We are
committed to supporting the people we work with as they try to overcome traumas and
difficulties in their lives. These may include relationship or family breakdown, financial
difficulties, unemployment, ill mental health and addictions. We want to break the cycle of
homelessness and give people skills and confidence to face the future.
We work without judgement to support those who need our help.
What we do
Accommodation
Each night we provide 382 warm, safe beds for those with no home across 22 accommodation
sites in Northern Ireland.
Young People’s Services
We provide accommodation and support for young people aged 16-21, who are homeless or
leaving care, in three specialist projects. Some of our young people still go to school each day,
but at the end of a school day, instead of going home to the care of a loving family, they return
to one of our specialist accommodation units.
Family Service
We have a dedicated family accommodation project, which can support up to 24 families at
one time.
Helpline
we have a free phone helpline available 24 hours a day, to offer help and advice, 0800 171
2222. Last year we answered over 26,000 calls.

About us
Health and Wellbeing Services
People experiencing homelessness often have a range of complex issues that need to
be addressed before successful independent living can be achieved. We provide the
following services to improve health and wellbeing:
• Harm Reduction
We provide support for people who are experiencing issues with alcohol or drugs.
We offer a range of tailored support services in this area to reduce the impact on
an individual.
• Dual Diagnosis
We employ specialist Dual Diagnosis Practitioners to address the significant gap
in treating individuals with both mental health and substance use issues. This
Dual Diagnosis Team works with clients to offer intensive therapy sessions and
explore treatment pathways.
• Support workers
Our support workers will work with everyone on an individual basis to see what
their needs are. They will make out a plan of support for each client.
Homelessness Prevention
Our homelessness prevention team works with people at risk of becoming homeless to
try to prevent it.
Resettlement
We help clients to move on or resettle back into the community when they are ready.

MythBusters
Below are a few common myths surrounding
homelessness, do you know the facts?
1. People choose to be homeless.
Nobody sets out with the goal of being homeless. It happens because of certain factors or
difficulties in someone's life.
2. Homelessness is always caused by addictions or poor mental health.
There are many causes of homelessness such as:
• Breakdown of a relationship.
• Issues with addiction,
• Mental ill health,
• Rising costs of housing/Shortage of affordable housing,
• Bereavement,
• Debt,
• Leaving the foster care system,
• Leaving the prison system.
3. Someone who is homeless just needs to get a job.
Even if someone is working, their pay may not be enough to cover their rent or mortgage.
Many people who are homeless have recently lost their job.
4. If everyone had a house, then there would be no homelessness.
Some people may not have the skills or confidence to be able to look after their home on
their own.
5. You have to be living on the streets to be homeless.
You can be homeless if you are sofa surfing, staying in temporary accommodation or
sleeping in your car. These people are known as the hidden homeless.
6. Only middle-aged men can be homeless.
Homelessness can affect anyone regardless of age or gender.
7. Homelessness isn't a big problem in Northern Ireland.
Homelessness in Northern Ireland is at crisis point. Homelessness here has risen by 32% in
the last 5 years. Approximately 50 people per day are becoming homeless. People do not
realize the extent of the problem here as we do not have as many street sleepers here as
in other places.

separate bowl. Add a few drops of the food colouring to the icing until pale yellow. Spoon into a disposable icing bag.
5. Remove the cake from the tin and peel off the baking parchment. Sit the cake on a wire rack over a baking tray.
Spread the white icing over the top. Pipe thin lines of the coloured icing across the width of the cake. Use a cocktail

How Donations Can Help
£10 could provide a warm meal for someone this winter.
£14 could allow us to make up a ‘Welcome Pack’ of basic
foods and toiletries to welcome someone who comes
to stay with us. The value of a ‘Welcome Pack’ is £25
but thanks to donations of items, it only costs us £14.
£25 could provide warm clothing or emergency fuel for
someone in need.
£30 could support our Family Service by providing events
and activities for one month to improve the wellbeing
of young children.
£60 could help us continue providing expert support to
clients with mental ill health and addictions.
£250 could pay for a Home Pack, providing someone who
is ready to live independently with household items
We know you will want to raise as much as possible to help those who need it
most, so don’t forget to raise money online too via JustGiving, Facebook etc.
