We’re sleeping out against homelessness
This October 11, our team will be doing something a little different from our usual workday. Instead of going to our homes at the end of day, we'll be swapping our cosy beds for sleeping bags as part of our workplace sleep out to raise awareness and funds for Focus Ireland, the national organisation tackling homelessness in Ireland.
While the idea of spending a night outdoors in the coldmight not sound appealing at first, the cause behind it fuels our motivation. Homelessness is a critical issue that affects countless people in our community, and I am proud to be a part of our company’s effort that aims to take a stand against homelessness.
The statistics around homelessness are staggering. With over 4,000 children experiencing homelessness, it's clear we need to take action. That’s why I think it is important to take part in my workplace sleep out as part of Focus Ireland’s Shine A Light, proudly supported by Bord Gáis Energy. 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.
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.
