I’m sleeping out against homelessness

To steal a phrase - childhood lasts a lifetime. 
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. 

So, on Friday 10 October, I'm going to be stepping way out of my comfort zone. I’ll be joining my colleagues for a Workplace Sleep Out for Focus Ireland's Shine A Light, trading my 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.

I joined my colleagues sleeping out last year in support of the homeless - it was a humbling experience and we only did one night before going home to a warm shower. So I decided to support this initiative again this year to help bring focus and awareness. Please give any small amount toward this worthy cause!!! Thank you

Thank you to my Sponsors
