Speaking about the campaign, National Fundraising Initiatives Rebecca Reynolds, Manager at Focus Ireland said, “We are thrilled to have the support of Spin South West this Christmas.”

“The campaign will raise much-needed funds for all the families, children and young people that we help through our various services in the mid-west. There are over 8,300 people homelessness in Ireland and nearly 700 of those are coming Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Kerry.”

Nessa McGann, Station Manager at SPIN South West, said that Christmas is always a great time to encourage others to give back, and that there will plenty of music and craic as usual during the 28 hours.

“We’re delighted to be involved with Focus Ireland this year – it’s our first time doing such a long broadcast by 1 team and they have vowed that no sleep or breaks will be had in order to raise funds and awareness for Focus Ireland”.

We are all really looking forward to this great event and thanks so much to everyone @SPINSouthWest for setting this up. https://t.co/N8jZ0finhv
