Support me in surviving one night on the streets of Galway this December to help fight Homelessness.
On Friday 1st December I will be leaving the comfort of my own home for one night to sleep on Shop Street for the 'COPE Galway Sleep Out' to raise funds for COPE Galway's homeless services. While you are tucked up in bed, I wll be sleeping on the ground in Galway's cold winter weather with just a sleeping bag and a cup of soup.
When many of us think of homelessness we think of people we see sleeping rough in doorways and on the street. This is only part of a much greater issue. There are families, single men and single women living in unsuitable, insecure and temporary accommodation all over Galway. In the past year, COPE Galway has supported 702 adults and their 512 children affected by homelessness in Galway.
I've signed up for the COPE Galway Sleep Out to support COPE Galway and to play my part in helping to prevent homelessness in Galway.
You can play your part by sponsoring me and helping me reach my target of €3,000.

Well done Claire and to all who were out on the 1st of December.
