Cork Simon Community have thanked people in the city and county for donating over the past year.
The pandemic forced the charity to cancel several in-person fundraising events and move them online.
The latest report from the charity released at the end of last year shows over 16,000 people donated €4.8 million in 2019.
The 2020 report is due to be released shortly.
Speaking to RedFM News, Paul Sheehan from Cork Simon says people’s generosity is greatly appreciated:
"We've said it so many times before, but people in Cork have been hugely supportive. Again, we were concerned this year that we couldn't run our usual fundraising events - an opportunity for people to get together in common cause, you know, we did run some events online, but I think there was a bit of online fatigue setting in and that's absolutely understandable. But that being said, you know, people dug deep, they were as generous as ever, and we couldn't have gotten through the year without that support."
