'All aboard' Cork buskers at Kent Station raise vital funds for charity
Pupils from Colaiste Mhuire, Buttevant perform as part of the BIG BUSK at Cork Kent Station, in aid of Focus Ireland on Friday 11th March 2022.
Singers, choirs, musicians and even a few chancers sang their hearts out at Kent Station on Friday as part of the Big Busk for Focus Ireland, looking to raise a quarter of a million euro to aid an end to homelessness.
The busking extravaganza went on from 8am to 8pm at the Cork city train station, with buskers serenading Cork commuters in the hope of getting people to give a few bob to a good cause.
The fundraising event, organised by Today FM, was well supported. Over 140,000 euro raised nationally by lunchtime Friday with monies still coming in and bucket collections from around the country yet to be counted.
According to Focus Ireland, there are currently 9,000 people without a home in Ireland, 2,500 children living in emergency accommodation and every day in Ireland, one new family finds themselves without a home.
