Barnardos Ireland is dedicated to protecting and supporting vulnerable children and families across the country—but they can’t do it alone. Each year, Barnardos must raise over €10 million through public support to continue delivering vital services in more than 56 service locations nationwide. Whether you’re part of a business, school, club, or simply want to make a difference, there are countless ways to get involved.
From charity partnerships for your business, to creative fundraising ideas at work or school, and exciting events like the Big Toddle or Barnardos Big Breakfast, every effort helps empower children to reach their full potential.
