Every year, NOVAS holds an annual Christmas Sleep-Out, our biggest fundraising event of the year. There are many ways to get involved in the sleep-out and support our Christmas appeal. Funds raised this Christmas help us support frontline homeless services. Here are a few of the ways you can support us.
1. Sleep Out
The biggest way to support the Christmas Sleep-Out is by taking part – by joining us on December 17th to sleep out for a single night, you will receive a sponsorship card to allow your friends and family to support your effort. Sponsorship cards from sleep-out participants are an important source of fundraising for the Christmas appeal. This year, we want as many people as possible to take part in the Sleep-Out in Limerick, Tralee or Thurles.
If you are interested in taking part, contact sleepout@novas.ie to receive more info and your sponsorship card.
2. Donate Online
We understand that many people want to support the Sleep-Out but aren’t available to join us on December 17th, that’s why we have an online donation facility where anyone can support the sleep-out and NOVAS services in general.
Donations are welcome at www.novas.ie/donate
3. Sponsor a friend
Perhaps you know someone who is taking part in the Sleep-Out – a fantastic way to support the cause is by sponsoring them and helping them to achieve their fundraising targets.
4. Show support on the night
The Sleep-Outs will be taking place in central locations in Limerick, Tralee and Thurles on December 20th. From 7pm, there will be music, carols and a team of volunteers with donation buckets. All are welcome to pop by on the evening to throw some change in the donation buckets and enjoy the music.
Bonus – Anything else!
All forms of support are more than welcome, whether you want to donate tea and biscuits to participate on the night or share our message on social media.
