All DCU Students Welcome!
For anyone who would like to join us on the night and help raise awareness, please register via the below eventbrite link. Also, please join our group and complete your own personal fundraising link to help us raise much needed funds for this amazing cause!We’re sleeping out against homelessness
For years, we've watched the homelessness crisis grow in Ireland. That's why we’re taking action together.
On Saturday 29th November, our DCU EMBA Class are sleeping out to raise vital funds for Focus Ireland's Shine A Light, trading our 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 team's fundraising page: every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to creating a future where every child has a safe place to call home.
