We are Sleeping Out on Shop Street for COPE Galway
On Friday, 5th December 2025, we’ll be joining fellow leaders and colleagues from Galway’s business community to take part in the COPE Galway Business Leaders’ Sleep Out on Shop Street.
This annual event raises vital funds for COPE Galway’s homeless services. With the homelessness crisis continuing to grow, your support is more important than ever.
COPE Galway provide more than just shelter. The funds raised through this event are used to provide a range of supports including nutritious meals, safe accommodation, practical essentials, and the wraparound supports people need to transition out of homelessness.
Your donation is helping us respond to growing demand and complex needs in real time — with dignity, care, and compassion.
Please support our team’s effort. Together, we can make a meaningful impact.
Thank you to our Sponsors
