On the move: A Higher Calling

In Ireland today, there are 13,841* people, including over 4,000 children, experiencing homelessness. But you can make a difference.

One of the ways you can support Focus Ireland is by using your passion for hiking and outdoors to come together with a like-minded community to raise vital funds for homeless services.

Join Focus Ireland on an epic hiking challenge and fundraise to support those who are homeless or at risk. We're asking you to climb a mountain, but what you're really doing is taking on the challenge of ending homelessness. It's a higher calling, a chance to give back, and take a stand against homelessness.

Why fundraise?

Focus Ireland works to bring about real and lasting change for the people who need our help. With your support, Focus Ireland can reach even more people on the brink of homelessness and make a real and lasting difference to those currently living in emergency accommodation.

Your fundraising will help ensure our services can support over 16,000 people a year who are homeless or at risk. It also helps our work providing over 1,500 homes across Ireland.

By taking part in On the move, you allow Focus Ireland to provide individuals, families and children trapped in homelessness with the immediate and practical support they need.
