Sleep out against homelessness
Friday 11 October
The annual Shine A Light sleep out brings awareness to the challenges of homelessness, which is a reality faced by more than 14,000 people in Ireland.
Focus Ireland, proudly supported by Bord Gáis Energy, are encouraging businesses, schools, and communities to connect on a personal level with the issue of homelessness by taking part in a nationwide sleep out in an effort to raise awareness, and much needed funds, for thousands of individuals, children, and families without a home.
