Fundraiser for Children In Hospital

Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering with Children in Hospital Ireland in Crumlin Hospital and more recently, in Cavan General Hospital, where CIH just launched the first ever volunteer team.

Play volunteering is a vital service that offers joy, comfort, and support to children during some of the toughest moments of their lives. It also gives parents a much needed breather, knowing their child is being cared for and entertained in a warm, safe way.

To help raise funds for this incredible charity, I’m taking on a big challenge this September: walking 139km of the Camino Portugués, from Portugal to Spain.

If you’re in a position to Donate to CIH, I’d be so grateful. Every donation will go directly to CIH toward making hospital stays a little brighter for sick children across Ireland.

More information about Children in Hospital Ireland: Children in Hospital Ireland was founded in 1970 and in the decades since then has engaged in advocacy and education in regard to the specific needs of children and young people in hospital, has made available information for parents and families, and has provided a volunteer-led play and recreation service. It is now available in fourteen hospitals in Ireland, with more than 450 volunteers providing play facilitation on a daily basis in wards, emergency departments, outpatient departments and playrooms.
