Barnardos Big Breakfast
Get ready to make a big difference – with breakfast! Barnardos Big Breakfast is an exciting new fundraising campaign where you can turn your morning coffee, croissants, or cornflakes into a meaningful way to support vulnerable children in Ireland.
Every bite you share helps to fill a child’s tummy so they can grow strong and healthy; and helps provide children with the essentials they need to thrive.
Sign up to host your Big Breakfast today and help change the story for vulnerable children.
Big Toddle 2025
This year marks the 22nd anniversary of our exciting half-mile sponsored walk for crèche and pre-school aged children. Since our very first Big Toddle, young children from crèches, playgroups, preschools, and families across the country have come together to support this much-loved campaign, raising an incredible €4.84 million.
Registrations for Big Toddle 2025 are now closed. Please contact our team on [email protected] should you have a query.
Barnardos Giving Day 2025
Barnardos children’s charity is asking you to donate what you can this Giving Day on Friday 19th September, kindly supported by Dell Technologies.
We are very excited to team up with Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio for a host of Giving Day activities highlighting the work that we do and encouraging listeners and supporters to ‘click and donate’ what they can.
All funds raised on Barnardos Giving Day will help to create safe spaces for children to learn, grow, and thrive – helping to change their story. Every euro raised can make a world of difference to a vulnerable child so please donate what you can.
