Sleep-out for one night to change a lifetime
Focus Ireland has always been fortunate to receive overwhelming support from the business community and public to support people who are experiencing homelessness.
As we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we need your help more than ever. The temporary ban on evictions and the rent freeze while level 5 restrictions were in place had a big impact in cutting the numbers becoming homeless. But as lockdown eases, the numbers of families and children who are homeless are on the rise.
We have moved record numbers of families and individuals out of homelessness, helping over 1,100 households to secure a home in the last year. This work must continue to ensure everyone has a place to call home.
Please join us this year on Friday 15 October and give one night to raise vital funds for people experiencing homelessness. Your support can change the lives of families, young people and children who are homeless as we emerge from the Covid-19 crisis.
Sign up today and join us, Bord Gáis Energy and supporters all over the country on Shine A Light Night 2021.
