I am going to cut off my dreads for a very worth while charity, The Peter McVerry Trust. Peter McVerry has been working with the young homless in Dublin for more than 30 years. He takes a very hands on approach in giving help to those who need it. Homelessness in Ireland is becoming an increasing problem with the numbers at a record high. There has been a 25% increase in homless families since this time last year. As of May this year there are over 2500 homless children in Ireland, which is approximatly 33% of the total number of homless in the country. No child should be without a home I will be cutting my deads off on the 24th of July and I hope to continue the campaign for a month after. I am looking to raise €500

Peter McVerry Trust provides low-threshold entry services, primarily to younger persons with complex needs, and offers pathways out of homelessness based on the principles of the Housing First model and within a framework that is based on equal opportunities, dignity and respect.
