DEAR BOB,
 
YOUR FUNDRAISING MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE
I’D LIKE TO EXTEND A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION OF €960 COLLECTED BY YOU DURING YOUR ONLINE RAFFLE. WITHOUT THIS SUPPORT FOCUS IRELAND COULD NOT DO THE WORK IT DOES WITH THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES, CHILDREN AND INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR.
 
FOCUS IRELAND WORK THROUGHOUT IRELAND 
FOCUS IRELAND WORK TO PREVENT AND BREAK THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS THROUGH EARLY INTERVENTION.
WE DO THIS BY:
 
OFFERING EXTENSIVE INFORMATION AND ADVICE WORKING ON A ONE- TO-ONE BASIS WITH PEOPLE TO ASSESS THEIR NEEDS AND GIVE PRACTICAL ADVICE SUPPLYING SUPPORT SERVICES AS NEEDED, SUCH AS PSYCHOTHERAPY, CHILDCARE, EDUCATION AND TRAINING, PRACTICAL SKILLS AND ADDICTION REFERRALS PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH A PLACE TO CALL HOME  
A COMBINATION OF THESE SERVICES GIVES A BETTER CHANCE OF SUCCESS TO ALL THOSE WHO ENGAGE WITH US TO TAKE THE NEXT STEPS IN THEIR LIVES.
 
HOMELESSNESS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE
FOCUS IRELAND WORK AROUND IRELAND WITH A BROAD SPECTRUM OF PEOPLE - SINGLE MEN AND WOMEN; FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE GROWN UP IN STATE CARE. WE TAKE PARTICULAR CARE TO SUPPORT CHILDREN IN CRISIS SITUATIONS AND WORK CLOSELY WITH FAMILIES WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS. WE WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE SLEEPING ROUGH, BUILDING TRUST AND HELPING THEM TO GET SECURE ACCOMMODATION.
 
WE WILL USE YOUR DONATION WISELY
89 CENT OF EVERY EURO WE RECEIVE IS SPENT ON OUR SERVICES.  THIS IS OUR PROMISE TO YOU - WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE USE YOUR CONTRIBUTION WISELY TO HELP PREVENT HOMELESSNESS IN THE LONG TERM AND SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE HOMELESS NOW.
 
YOURS SINCERELY,
