Last October, 9 colleagues  from RTE took part in last years Shine A Light At Work event. It was a fairly last minute decision but turned out to be such an eye opening experience and one that we promised we would repeat. 

Our sleepout will take place on October 14th, on the front porch of RTE TV Reception. This year, many more of us will be bedding down in support of the vital work of Focus Ireland and their aim to end homelessness in Ireland. 

Family homelessness has reached historic proportions in Ireland with nearly 2200 children living in emergency homeless accommodation in Ireland often unable to get to school, rarely getting a home cooked meal and sinking into darkness. As Mothers, Fathers, Aunts, and Uncles and human beings, we don't want to accept this. It's not OK anymore and it's getting worse, so we're joining our peers for one night to make even one family's life a little better.

Please lend your support by sponsoring our journey.
