Ross Breen said; “Peter McVerry Trust is an organisation I’ve admired for a long time – it was great to create something with them that will raise awareness of the homeless crisis and encourage funding for their work. The first person I thought of to film this was Myles, so it’s a collaboration I’m very happy with. Hopefully, it will prompt people to text a donation or find out more online.”
Myles O'Reilly renowned for his music-related films, added "I was so excited to help document this song from Ross Breen and the hugely important message his soulful voice delivers within. There are so many ways to bring homelessness to public attention but few are more effective than through song.”
As a homeless and housing charity working primarily with young people and vulnerable adults, Peter McVerry Trust’s ultimate goal is support people to exit homelessness permanently, providing them with a key to their own home.
