What’s the story! 💛

On Friday, 9th October 2026, we will be taking part in Shine a Light, an overnight sleepover/sleep-out in support of Focus Ireland.

From 8pm, our young participants and volunteers will come together at The Kabin. Participants will experience sleeping either outdoors in tents or inside The Kabin, helping us to gain a small insight into what it can feel like to spend a night without the comfort and security of a permanent home.

We’re taking part to shine a light on homelessness in Ireland, raise awareness among our young people and, most importantly, raise funds to support Focus Ireland’s vital work helping people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

💛 Every donation, big or small, will make a difference.


We’re sleeping out against homelessness

Right now, more than 5,500 children in Ireland are growing up without a home. Behind that number are childhoods missing the moments that matter: no quiet space for homework, no friends coming over, no family meals together, no community to grow up in, no safe home to rely on.

That’s why our team will be sleeping out against homelessness on Friday 9 October for Focus Ireland's Shine A Light. We’re taking action because every child deserves better.

Please show your support by donating to our fundraising page: every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to creating a future where everyone has a safe place to call home.
