Hundreds of performers are set to take part in this year's Big Busk which will also feature songs requested by people who have been supported by Focus Ireland.
Performers are also given the opportunity to host their own event in their local communities or online.
Last year, Focus Ireland supported 111 families in Limerick who were homeless or at risk of losing their home and during Christmas week 2024, 455 adults accessed emergency accommodation in Limerick.
The charity provides 280 homes throughout Limerick through the Focus Housing Association, in close partnership with Limerick Council and supports many households through its housing and services work and its Tenancy Support and Settlement service.
