Focus Ireland is calling on the public to take part in a series of challenges across the country over the summer months in an effort to raise funds for those experiencing homelessness in Ireland.
'On the Move' is a new series and offers a choice of fitness challenges to be completed this summer from July to September, in scenic locations across the country. Whether it's ascending the highest peak in Ireland on Carrauntoohil, cycling one of Ireland's greenways, or completing a hike, there is something for everyone.
Homelessness is on the increase in Ireland with statistics from Focus Ireland showing that over 12,000 people in Ireland are experiencing homelessness in Ireland in comparison to over 9,000 people this time last year.
