Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Friday 12^th October I will be leaving the comfort of my own home for one night to sleep-out on Spike Island, Cork Harbour to "Shine a Light" on homelessness in Ireland. Whilst you are tucked up in bed I will be sleeping on cardboard battling the weather with just a sleeping bag and a cup of soup.

I was shocked to realise that today there are almost 10,000 people homeless in Ireland and that 1 in 3 is a child. I’ve signed up for ‘Shine a Light Night’ so I can play my part in helping Focus Ireland provide vital prevention services and change people’s lives.

Focus Ireland believe that homelessness can be ended and work to break the cycle of homelessness by giving people access to information, housing, childcare and a range of education services throughout Dublin, Cork, Kilkenny, Limerick, Sligo, Waterford, Clare and Wexford.

I am now asking for your help. You can help to prevent homelessness in Ireland today by sponsoring me to take part in the sleep-out. I have committed to raise €3,000 by 12^th October,

Please demonstrate your solidarity by sponsoring me today.

Thank you,

Mark Power
