Fight homelessness with Christmas social and CPD
A special Christmas event from Lawyers Against Homelessness (LAH) will celebrate fifty years of the work of brother Kevin and the Capuchin Day Centre.
As well as four CPD points, the gathering on 5 December also has a social aspect with a drinks reception afterwards in the Sheds in the Bar Council building, kindly supported by Irish Distillers/Jameson.
Proceeds
A full 100% of the proceeds will go to The Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People in Bow Street, Dublin.
The seminar takes place from 3.30pm to 7.30pm at the Capuchin Day Centre, 29 Bow Street, Dublin 7.
In the 50 years since Brother Kevin opened his door to help the homeless, his operation has expanded beyond belief and thousands of homeless people benefit from hot food, lunch packages and medical assistance on a daily basis.
