Give one night to change a lifetime

Story

On 21st October I will be sleeping out on the grounds of Cork City Gaol to shine a light on the issue of homelessness in Ireland 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.  

Our company Johnson & Perrott will match all donations to this site and to the coffee mornings we are running to raise funds.

Family homelessness has reached historic proportions in Ireland with more than 2,100 children living in emergency 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 in Ireland so I'm joining my peers to make a difference.  Homelessness in Cork is solvable - please lend your support by sponsoring my journey.
