Hi everyone
We have created this short survey to get an idea of how people in society view the issue of homelessness. This survey is completely anonymous, so your details will not be shown to us and responses cannot in any way be traced back to you. There is only four questions, so if you could take a minute to complete the survey that would be great. Thank you!

We are a group of first year Social Care Work Students in CIT who want to raise awareness for homelessness and poverty in Ireland. Each week, we will upload a video from well known charities along with information and facts about homelessness and poverty in Ireland. As well as this we will also be organising and uploading details of events so that people can take action and get involved in our campaign. We really hope that we can get your support and help those in need. It’s time we make a change and speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves.
