Daisyhouse, a registered charity and Approved Housing Body has supported women out of homelessness.Women become homeless for different reasons- domestic violence, sexual abuse, sexual violence, addiction, ill health, relationship breakdown, trafficking, coming out of state care, loss of income and other complex traumas. All of the women who are referred to us have faced a combination of these complex challenges. When this happens, they need support, time and a safe space where they can start to rebuild from the trauma of their past experiences, feel safe and secure and, in time, move forward in their lives. Daisyhouse provides this support, time and safe space. Daisyhouse provides supported temporary accommodation combined with uniquely tailored individual personal support programmes to women who are homeless. We provide this service for 18 month periods so these women can break the cycle of homelessness and be empowered to move forward to independent sustainable living.

After arriving on a landing page users answer a teaser question (depending on the configuration this step may be omitted). After that they are asked to enter their mobile phone number into a web form. Once they submit their phone number they are taken to the next page and are sent one text msg with all required service info and pricing information (code of practice rules apply). Once they reply "CASH" (or "PLAY") to that text message they subscribe to the service and can start playing the game. The game is a picture slide / mosaic / puzzle where the customer needs to move all tiles of an image into the right position so that the actual image is restored. Customer can pick between a set of different images and can play as many times as they want unless our system detects fraudulent activity (in this case a cool down phase will have the user wait before they can continue playing). Winner is who completes any image / puzzle fastest with the least amount of moves in any week of the given competition period. A competition period usually lasts for 2-3 months, the respective closing date is announced on the website. Customers can check highscores at any time to check whether they are in the top 10 yet. The design of the service follows the code of practice. Weekly billing / subscription service. Winners will be notified by phone by our call center.

We are making the 10th anniversary of the ICE Bucket Challenge and we are hoping to raise funds to support those living with MND. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation of its kind in this country. It was set up in May 1985 to provide care and support to people with Motor Neurone Disease, their carers, families, and friends. There are currently over 450 people living with MND in Ireland. MND is often referred to as the 1,000 day disease as most people die within 1,000 days of being diagnosed. Our key services include: o Home visiting by our six MND Nurse Specialists o Financial assistance towards home care o Providing specialist medical equipment free of charge to our clients o Assistance towards counselling, travel to and from medical appointments, recharge grant and voice banking grant (these new additional services are a result of Charlie Bird Development fund) o Supporting research into the causes and treatments of MND o Freefone Information support line for clients and families The Association relies heavily on fundraising activities from our members and supporters. We need to raise over 85% of our overall income. It costs approx. 2.4 million to run the Association each year.
