What we are fundraising for:
On Friday 6th October, TY will Sleep Out Against Homelessness as part of Focus Ireland’s Shine A Light, proudly supported by Bord Gáis Energy. By sleeping out in the school grounds, we hope to raise awareness about homelessness and help raise vital funds to support homeless services.
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.
