Every child deserves a happy Christmas
Give vulnerable children a Christmas to remember
The lead up to Christmas is such a busy time in Barnardos. It’s a time of year when every single family attending our services is going to need support at the same time. And we all need to join forces to make sure they receive that support. This is why we need your help today.
Through practical, emotional and therapeutic supports delivered in family homes, schools and communities across Ireland, the charity worked with over 34,000 children and families across Ireland in 2025.
Three days in the cold. Three days in the dark.
That was the aftermath of *Chloe’s Christmas last year.
It’s not all about presents and twinkling lights. Many children are facing a Christmas without heat, without light, without food.
Please, if you can afford to, donate this Christmas to help keep the light and heating on for a child this winter.

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.
