A LOCAL school is currently taking part in a sponsored sleep out to raise awareness about homelessness and raise funds for their school.

Today St Francis of Assisi Belmayne National School, in conjunction with Focus Ireland, are undertaking a 24 hour sleep out to shine a light on our homelessness crisis and to help raise much needed funds for their Primary School.

The 24 hour sleep out kicked off at 11 am this morning and will run until to 11am tomorrow morning at the school grounds.

Your support and sponsorship is greatly appreciated however small.

All donations can be sent through this Donate page https://www.idonate.ie/cause/stfrancis-64831 or you can drop in your donation to the school.
