Shine A Light on child homelessness on Friday 10 October
A shocking truth: In Ireland today, nearly 5,000 children are homeless.
They're living in temporary accommodation, their lives on hold. This is unacceptable, and the crisis is deepening every day. As a nation, we can't let this go on. It's time to take a stand for the over 15,000 people—including thousands of children—who face homelessness every single day. We can't accept this as normal.
We believe that no child should have to go through the trauma of homelessness. That's why we’re asking you to join us: sleep out against homelessness as part of Focus Ireland's Shine A Light, proudly supported by Bord Gáis Energy.
