Belvedere College Sleep-Out is almost an institution on the streets of Dublin. 

When we started this campaign in 1983 with just 12 students we never imagined that our society would be facing its largest number of homeless persons ever in 2024. We thought we had hit that record in 2022 when there were over 11,000 homeless. That figure jumped to over 12,000 in 2023, and now in 2024 its even higher at almost 15,000. Where will it end?

There are so many factors at play with the homeless crisis – lack of affordable housing, excessive rent prices, an unprecedented influx of people fleeing war and other factors as they seek to find a place to call home in Ireland. We are just grateful that we can do something to respond. With your support our charity partners Focus Ireland and Jesuit Refugee Service can help those who have no place to call home.

Please be as generous as you can and donate to our campaign.

Thank you.
