We're sleeping out against homelessness

For years, we've watched the homelessness crisis grow in Ireland. Thousands of children are caught in the middle of it, and it's simply not right. This isn't something we have to accept; it is a question of political will, and choice. And we can’t, as a nation, allow this to continue.

So, the 37th scouts and vents will do their part. On Friday 10 October, they're going to take part in the nationwide sleep out for Focus Ireland's Shine A Light, trading their cosy bed for a sleeping bag for the night. This isn't just about a single night of discomfort; it’s about raising absolutely critical funds for Focus Ireland to help them meet the growing demand for their services.

More than that, though, it’s about making a stand and saying that having thousands of children without a home is just unacceptable.

Please show your support by donating to our fundraising page: every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to creating a future where every child has a safe place to call home.
