The painting, valued at €1,750, depicts long-time Simon supporter Glen Hansard as he takes part in his 2017 Christmas Eve Busk outside the Gaiety Theatre. Originally photographed by Hot Press' own Danni Fro, artist Glenn Matthews (best known for "The French Connection" Rory Gallagher album cover artwork) has since decided to support the great work Dublin Simon Community does by hosting a raffle for one of his original paintings!

2 Limited edition prints of the original painting will also be raffled as consolation prizes.

Your gift of €10 could help the Dublin Simon outreach volunteers and staff provide a breakfast pack including a sandwich, cereal bar, water, two pieces of fruit and some biscuits to someone experiencing the insecurity of homelessness.

Each donation of €10 counts as one entry, with winners being announced on social media this Christmas Eve. All donations will go straight to Dublin Simon Community to support the amazing work they do to help people at all stages of homelessness.
