The 38th Belvedere College SJ Annual Sleep-Out takes place in 2021. Normally 60 students spend 3 days and 2 nights sleeping out at the GPO on O'Connell St to raise much needed funds in aid of three very deserving charities working to combat homelessness; Focus Ireland (https://www.focusireland.ie), Peter McVerry Trust (https://pmvtrust.ie) and Home Again (https://www.homeagain.ie). We are always grateful for the support of Belvedere past pupils who join us for their own sleep out at the Bank of Ireland on College Green.

Due to Covid-19, this is the second year that students will be unable to sleepout on O'Connell St and instead they will take on the challenge in their own back gardens. We have managed to increase the number of students taking part to 100 and the students will sleep out on Sat Dec 4th and Sat Dec 18th creating awareness about the ongoing issue of homelessness in Ireland and how our three charity partners are working to combat this issue

In the spirit of Christmas we're asking you to be as generous and supportive of the cause by donating whatever you can.

The annual Sleep-out is always a real success and a familiar sight for passers-by on Dublin's main street. Unfortunately due to rising Covid numbers we cannot be on the streets this year to shake our buckets either but we will be just as visible online. Join us and share the effort to raise as much as we can. We need your support more than ever.

THANK YOU for whatever you can do. It is deeply appreciated.
