We’re sleeping out against homelessness
As business leaders, we are used to taking calculated risks and leading the way for our team. But on October 11, we'll be stepping a little further outside our comfort zone – by sleeping out to raise awareness and funds for the fight against homelessness.
This isn't a solo mission. I'm proud to be joining a team of dedicated colleagues for Focus Ireland’s Shine A Light sleep out, proudly supported by Bord Gáis Energy. Why? Because homelessness is a critical issue that demands our attention, and because business leaders have a responsibility to be active participants in the communities we serve.
Homelessness is a complex issue with no easy solutions. Yet, it's a serious problem affecting communities across the country. We keep reaching record breaking figures on the number of people experiencing homelessness, which includes over 4,000 children. This is unacceptable.
While a one-night sleep out is certainly not the same, it offers a glimpse into the vulnerability and hardship faced by thousands of people in Ireland without a safe and secure home.
As business leader, we believe in leading by example. By participating in this event, we hope to inspire others to get involved to raise funds to support vital homeless services. 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.
