Shine a Light Night is observed in Ireland on October 15, where individuals spend the night outside their homes to raise awareness and funds for the welfare of homeless people. This initiative, introduced by Focus Ireland, aims to highlight the plight of the homeless and has raised over $7.69 million since its inception. Participants, including business leaders, students, and the general public, experience one night of sleeping outdoors to empathize with those without shelter. As of a recent report, there were over 8,200 homeless individuals in Ireland, a number that continues to rise. Focus Ireland, founded in 1980, works to improve the living conditions of the homeless and ensure their rights are prioritized in government agendas. The campaign encourages community involvement and supports a critical cause in addressing the housing crisis in Ireland.
