Pamela Wynne, Corporate Finance Director with DHKN and Eoghan McGuire, who leads DHKN’s tax compliance team, will join over 40 other business leaders in the annual Sleep Out for COPE Galway on Friday 6 December.
Since 2012, COPE Galway has been bringing business leaders together to spend a night in Galway City centre and raise funds for COPE Galway’s homeless services.
In that time the Business Leaders’ Sleep Out has raised over €1.5m for COPE Galway’s homeless services. The funds raised each year have a direct and practical impact on the daily lives of COPE Galway’s clients.
“During DHKN’s Volunteer Day last May, we spent time working at COPE Galway’s Family Hub in Newcastle, and I was able to see the fantastic work being done by the COPE Galway team and volunteers”, says Pamela.
“I took part in the COPE Galway Sleep Out last December and it helped increase my awareness of all the good that COPE does for Galway’s homeless and those at risk of homelessness.” says Eoghan.
In 2023 COPE Galway supported 1,278 people who were homeless or at risk of homelessness, including 330 children.
Sleep Out funding has enabled projects such as the provision of community-based housing, the Rough Sleeper Outreach programme as well as skills development and training for COPE Galway volunteers and staff.
“We’re delighted that Pamela and Eoghan are continuing the DHKN record of actively supporting Sleep Out this year,” says Mark Gibbs, Partner at DHKN.
