Every child deserves a happy Christmas
Give vulnerable children a Christmas to remember
As one of the leading children’s charities in Ireland, Barnardos’ core purpose is to help the most vulnerable children in society achieve their full potential.
Barnardos’ vision is to ensure all vulnerable children in Ireland get the support they need to overcome childhood adversity, and we work directly with children and families to help that vision become a reality. We believe that childhood lasts a lifetime, and we want to give every child equal opportunities, to ensure they have the best possible outcomes in their futures.
Will's Christmas Wish
At just 10 years old, Will isn’t thinking about presents or lights. He’s worried about his parents arguing, an empty fridge, and his little sisters needing warm coats.
This Christmas, you can show Will he’s not alone.
Send Will a message of hope.
