Mission Statement

Focus Ireland are driven by the fundamental belief that homelessness is wrong. They work with people who need support to avoid becoming homeless and who need help to end their experience of homelessness and move into a safe and secure home. From the very beginning, their work has been rooted in deep listening to people, learning about the problems and risks they face and pointing to where the solutions lie. 

I’m sleeping out against homelessness

On October 11, I'll be sleeping out to raise awareness and funds for the fight against homelessness. I will join hundreds of others participating in Focus Ireland’s Shine A Light sleep out, generously supported by Bord Gáis Energy.

Homelessness is a complex issue without an easy solution. I've been supporting the Focus Ireland Shine A Light sleep out for more than a decade. With each passing year we see a challenge that deepens. Right now we have more than 14,000 people in homelessness across Ireland, including more than 4,000 children. This is unacceptable - and we can do better.

By participating in this event, I hope to inspire others to get involved to raise funds to support Focus Ireland's vital homeless services. Please show your support by donating to my fundraising page: every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to creating a future where everyone has a safe place to call home.
