We're fundraising for...
On Friday 13th October, I will Sleep Out Against Homelessness as part of Focus Ireland’s Shine A Light, proudly supported by Bord Gáis Energy. By sleeping out, I hope to raise awareness about homelessness and help raise vital funds to support homeless services.
In the Ireland of today, there is no place for the rampant homelessness that we have.
Homelessness is not just a statistic; it’s a heart-breaking reality for far too many people, families, and children who lack the basic security and comfort we can often take for granted. Some families can spend up to two years in a one-bedroom room in emergency accommodation, which has a significant impact on mental health, self-esteem, and child development.
Focus Ireland are working hard to support those who need it most and help them on their journey out of homelessness and towards a better future.
Please donate to our Shine A Light fundraising page and play your part in the fight to end homelessness. Every contribution makes a difference.

Wonderful cause. My husband, Michael, volunteered every Saturday for 10 years at the Dublin homeless shelter operated by the Capuchin Order. Thanks for raising awareness around this terrible issue.
