25 Years
We are proud to be celebrating 25 years. Due to the generous donations we have received over the years we have been able to fund youth groups throughout Ireland and really effect change in the lives of Irish children. With your help we can continue to make a difference.
Children We Support
At the moment there are 1,064,000 children (aged 0 to 18) living in this country and while most are happy, healthy and well cared for, there are some that are not....
Children's Hour 2011
Thank you to all of our Children's Hour supporters, we are so grateful to you for making that donation.
The Children's Hour campaign is still running and will continue into February. Many projects which provide vital services to vulnerable and at-risk young people are struggling to stay open. You can help to make a difference by donating just one hour of your pay to help support these young people, or by making a collection in your workplace. In October we asked youth groups throughout the country what their Christmas wish would be and we have received over 70 requests. Please support Children’s Hour. Your contribution will make a difference.
