How you make a difference
By participating in a fundraising event you help to prevent people from becoming homeless.
Our research has shown that early access to advice and information on rights and entitlements is crucial to preventing people from becoming homeless. More than 7,400 people needed our support in 2011 and the first port of call for many of them was our Advice and Information Services based in Dublin, Waterford, Cork, Kilkenny, Limerick and Sligo.
Without our event participants and donors we would not be able to fund our Advice and Information Services across the country. For further information on our services for people who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless click here.

Could you be one of 50 to rock climb, ski and kayak your way through the arctic region of Norway in the Baalusrud Challenge? The Baalsrud Challenge offers you the opportunity to retrace the steps of Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian Commando sent together with 11 other Norwegians on a fateful mission from England to the North of Norway in 1943 at the height of German Occupation during WWII. This mission went wrong, 11 men died but Jan escaped with his life.
Your challenge will follow Jan’s journey from the Shetland islands to Rebbensøy in northern Norway’s arctic region; traverse the difficult terrain and follow each stage of Jan’s journey and tell his story through the eyes of 50 candidates that want to change their lives for the better.
The challenge will take almost 18 months to prepare for, taking place in October 2013, and will include Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Skiing, Orienteering and Adventure. In addition it will include excellent training in Practical Leadership Skills, Decisions Making Skills, Teamwork and Strategic planning Skill-sets.
