Join a Focus Ireland Christmas fundraising event
From Tinseltown and Christmas Jumper Day to community events and school or faith group fundraisers, there are plenty of ways to get involved this festive season. Choose an activity that suits you, or organise your own, and help support people experiencing homelessness across Ireland.
Get Involved
Learn the Song and Host Your Own Tinseltown Singing Event
Sing Tinseltown or your favourite Christmas carols and raise funds for Focus Ireland.
Sign up today and become part of Tinseltown 2026. Learn the song and perform it in your community this Christmas, or gather friends, colleagues or classmates to sing your favourite Christmas carols. No performance is too small.
Sing for your colleagues at work, include it in your school’s Christmas concert, or perform with your choir or singing group at a local community event.
To help you get started, we’ll send you the sheet music and a recording of Tinseltown when you register and make a €10 donation
We’d love you to learn and sing Tinseltown, but it’s not essential. Taking part with your favourite Christmas carols is just as welcome.
By bringing Tinseltown or a Christmas carol performance to your school, workplace or community, you’ll help raise vital funds for Focus Ireland, supporting children and families experiencing homelessness this Christmas.
Host Your Own Christmas Fundraiser
Bring your festive fundraising idea to life and raise funds for Focus Ireland this Christmas.
Gather friends and family together and raise funds for Focus Ireland this Christmas. Host a festive bake sale, organise a Santa walk, gather friends for a coffee morning or put their knowledge to the test with a Christmas quiz or bring your own fundraising idea to life!
Whether you’re planning something at school, at work or in your community, we’d love you to get involved.

Why take part in Christmas fundraising activities with Focus Ireland?
Raising money to help end homelessness in Ireland makes a real difference to people’s lives - there’s no better way to celebrate Christmas than helping those living in homelessness in Ireland, especially over 5,000 children currently facing homelessness.
Our team is here to help you raise money, whether it’s through one of our Christmas fundraising activities or an event you’re organising yourself. We’ll help by:
- Providing you with the information and support you need to take part this Christmas;
- Sending you everything you need to join or host an event including santa hats, posters, bunting, t-shirts, swimming hats and other promotional materials;
- Supporting your fundraising with collection buckets and boxes;
- Sharing your event images on social media (if you’d like to share them with us).
Every euro you raise will help to end homelessness in Ireland by:
- Funding vital support for people in moments of crisis;
- Providing practical services to help children and families living in emergency accommodation;
- Helping people to leave homelessness for good and rebuild their lives with dignity in the safety of home;
- Campaigning to end the housing crisis that’s forced so many people into homelessness.
- Step 1: Sign up for a Focus Ireland Christmas fundraising event or get in touch to tell us about your Christmas fundraiser.
- Step 2: Our events team will call or email you with more information about the event and all the details you need to take part or run your own fundraising.
- Step 3: After the event, you can pay in the money raised online, by bank transfer or by delivering collection buckets directly to us.
