Barnardos Ambassador Jenny Murphy spoke at the launch: “I’m delighted to be able to lend my support to the call out for volunteers on Barnardos’ National Collection Day. Stepping out to support them on September 13th means you will be helping to provide services for children in your own locality, from afterschool and breakfast clubs to supporting parents in the home. Barnardos provides support for children in communities across the city, providing them with the tools they need for a brighter future. Giving your time means the children across Dublin will benefit so I urge you to join Barnardos as a volunteer this September.”
Barnardos CEO Suzanne Connolly said: “Barnardos National Collection Day is always a very special day for us, not least because we see the mammoth support we have in communities across the country. Each year the people of Dublin have rallied and stepped out to support the children and families we work with across the county, with many volunteers returning time and again to enjoy the feel-good factor that volunteering can bring. Each and every volunteer has made a difference, and can continue to do so by joining us again on September 13th. We’re also so grateful to our sponsor, Dell Technologies, who have supported us tirelessly ensuring the success of our National Collection day grows year on year. Join us on September 13th and help provide a brighter future for children in communities throughout Dublin www.barnardos.ie/buckets”
