On 16th October I will be sleeping outdoors to shine a light on the issue of homelessness today.

I am joining other Business Leaders to raise funds to support the vital work of Focus Ireland and their aim to end homelessness in Ireland.

Family homelessness has reached historic proportions in Ireland with more than 1500 children living in emergency homeless accommodation in Ireland often unable to get to school, rarely getting a home cooked meal and sinking into darkness.

I don't want to accept this as today's landscape so I'm joining my peers to make a difference.
