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. They could be sitting in our classes, and we might not even know they're suffering. 

So, on Friday 10 October, our school are going to be doing something to help. We have organised a School Sleep Out 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 my fundraising page: every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to creating a future where every child has a safe place to call home.
