Treaty United to take part in Focus Ireland Shine A Light Sleepout
The club community to sleep out at Markets Field on Friday, October 9, in support of people experiencing homelessness
Treaty United FC is proud to announce that members of the club community will take part in Focus Ireland’s Shine A Light campaign on Friday, October 9 with a sleepout at Markets Field Stadium to raise funds and awareness in support of people experiencing homelessness.
The annual Shine A Light campaign brings businesses, schools, clubs and communities across Ireland together to sleep out and raise vital funds for Focus Ireland’s work supporting individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes.
This year’s campaign is placing a particular focus on child homelessness. More than 5500 children are currently without a home in Ireland, highlighting the scale of the housing and homelessness crisis facing families across the country.
Treaty United FC will play its part by bringing members of the club community together for a sleepout at Markets Field on October 9.
The initiative reflects the club’s commitment to making a positive contribution beyond football and supporting the communities that Treaty United represents across Limerick and the wider Midwest.
Marion McGuane, Community & Engagement Manager, Treaty United, commented: “Treaty United is a football club, but our role in the community goes far beyond what happens on the pitch.
“Markets Field is our home, and on October 9, members of our club community will give up the comfort of their own homes for a night to support Focus Ireland and help shine a light on the reality of homelessness.
“The fact that more than 5500 children in Ireland are currently without a home is deeply concerning. Every child and every family deserves the security and stability of having somewhere safe to call home. We are asking everyone across the Treaty United community - our supporters, players, staff, volunteers, partners and friends of the club - to get behind the fundraiser and support Focus Ireland’s vital work.”
Focus Ireland’s 2026 Shine A Light campaign is encouraging people across Ireland to take part in sleepouts and fundraising activities to support services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Treaty United FC is inviting supporters and members of the wider Midwest community to support the club’s fundraising effort ahead of the sleepout.
Every donation will contribute to Focus Ireland’s work supporting people experiencing homelessness and helping families at risk of losing their homes.
To support Treaty United FC’s Shine A Light campaign, donations can be made through the club’s official Focus Ireland fundraising page:
