Focus Ireland believes that education plays a key role in the prevention of homelessness and in increasing public awareness of the different issues associated with homelessness.

We provide a number of innovative resources aimed at both primary and secondary school students and teachers.

The core aims of our education programme are to:

• Deliver accurate information to all 
• Raise awareness on the work of Focus Ireland 
• Inform young people in schools of the issues around leaving home 
• Gain support from young people by effectively highlighting the issue of homelessness 
• Educate young people on what they can do to help, especially in relation to campaigns and fundraising 
• Our Education programme is continually adapted and tailored to deliver the most up-to-date statistics, information and advice available to us.
