Newstalk helping to Make a Child’s Spirit Bright this Christmas

Barnardos has joined forces with Newstalk to highlight our work and raise much needed funds to transform children's lives this festive season. Barnardos works with more than 15,000 children and families each year and campaigns for the rights of all children in Ireland.

Tune into Newstalk 106-108FM from Monday December 10th December for a week of special reports that follows the story of Barnardos work and our teams in projects centres across the country to learn more about the challenges facing families this Christmas and how your support can make all the difference.

• €200 – helps could provide resources such as art materials or sports equipment to assist our After School Clubs and give children a safe and fun place to do their homework, make friends and build their self-esteem.
• €500 - helps provide one to one parenting programmes and practical supports delivered in the home to assist with routines, budgeting and cooking. It is especially important at this time of year to help give families the assistance they need to create a happy home environment.
