LAST DAY TO SEE THE SHINE A LIGHT STARGAZER AT ST. PATRICK’S PARK

The activation that lets you see the stars no matter what time of day will be live from 12pm in Dublin City Centre

There are 2,500 stars visible in the night sky to the human eye. And that’s just half the number of children living in homelessness in Ireland

5,659 children need to be seen, and helped

Sign up to sleep out on October 9

THE SHINE A LIGHT STARGAZER: Last chance to catch it at St. Patrick’s Park this Sunday September 20 before it begins its journey at select community locations until Shine A Light night on October 9

How it works
The VR enabled specially adapted Dobsonian telescope reveals the stars above no matter what time of day much like how Ireland children in homelessness are still in need of recognition and support whether we can see them or not.

Why is it important ?
There are approx. 2,500 stars visible on any night to the human eye but 5,569 children in Ireland trapped in homelessness

The scale is hard to comprehend so we must continue to press for action to change that absolutely devastating statistic

What you can do
There’s just over 3 weeks until the Shine A Light Sleep Out on October 9
You can sign up to participate or donate to those that do

Tonight is Shine A Light night for @focusirelandcharity
Thousands are sleeping out under the stars to raise awareness and much needed funds for the people, families and children in homelessness

Just on children alone the figures are shocking
Almost 6,000 children are in homelessness
That’s twice the number of stars you can see when you look up on a clear night

Please please considering donating at the Focus Ireland website if you can. It will make a huge difference

The Focus Ireland fundraising and campaigns team led by Jesse Wiesblatt and Lucy Kingham do incredible work for all those without a home. Sponsors like Sisk help amplify that to reach as many people as we can with this message

Thanks again to our media partners in @talonire for securing landmark OOH to support the campaign and the Stargazer activation and to the team in @dublincitycouncil Parks Dept

Thank you to the wonderful @muireann.o and @tommybowe and all at @irelandamvmtv for inviting @focusirelandcharity ambassador Niamh Shaw on to talk Stargazer and why she’s supporting the dreams of all Ireland’s children trapped in homelessness

There are now twice the number of children without a home in Ireland as stars you can see in the sky. 🌌

Looking up at the night sky, you might see around 2,500 stars 🌌

Yet right now in Ireland, 5,830 children are living in emergency accommodation, experiencing the uncertainty and trauma of homelessness. That’s more than two children for every star we see ⭐️

We brought that reality to life through our telescope event which took place in St Patricks park. We invited people to look up and reflect on what those numbers really mean. Behind every statistic is a child living without the security of a place to call home, a room of their own, or a quiet space to do their homework.

The children currently living in homelessness need more than our attention. They need us to take action.

Sign up for Shine A Light and sleep out on Friday October 9 in solidarity with children and families experiencing homelessness.

Together, we can help create a future where every child has a safe place to call home.

“That’s just so heartbreaking.”

If you look at the sky on a clear night, you can see around 2,500 stars with the naked eye. Today, there are more than twice that many children who are currently living in emergency or temporary accommodation across Ireland.

“It puts into perspective how big 5,000 is.” Today, more than 5,600 children are without a place to call home, a number difficult to visualise.

Last week, Focus Ireland has unveiled an immersive telescope in St Patrick’s Cathedral Park as part of the Shine A Light campaign. It raised awareness on the crisis and some wanted to share their thoughts and feelings.

Want to help shine a light on homelessness? Sign up for the sleep out and join us this October via the link in our bio.

THE SHINE A LIGHT STARGAZER: There are now more children in Ireland trapped in homelessness than stars you can see in the night sky with a human eye.

Read that again. Because it took us a minute. Powerful. Poignant. And perfect to anchor the messaging for this year’s Focus Ireland Shine A Light Sleep Out.

OOH generously donated by the Talon Ireland team with a specially adapted telescope created in-house by The Brill Building innovation team - STARGAZER - live for 5 days in Dublin City Centre at St. Patrick’s Park.

“You can’t own the night” imperious ad legend Neil French would bellow at alcohol marketing execs.

Well for Focus Ireland, and all Ireland’s children without a home, we’re claiming the night sky.

Huge credit to an amazing team and our partners - Pat in @dublincitycouncil Parks department, our good pal Paddy Daly for location support and the phenomenal media team in Talon Ireland @talonire led by Aoife Hudson (and the magician Simon Durham) for securing supporting digital OOH across some fab sites with their partners.

A collection of smart minds and sound heads.

This is a free event. Details on eventbrite at the link in bio
