Learn how your generosity is making a real difference for kids
It’s hard to believe that we’re already into February. The weeks seem to be flying by, so we wanted to slow down for a bit and look back on last year with our Winter Newsletter.
It is thanks to you, and your generosity, that we have achieved all that we have in 2024, and I want you to know how much of a difference it’s making.
You can now read all about what your support has done in this year’s Winter Newsletter here.

Your Support Made Ben’s Christmas Brighter
Thanks to your incredible generosity, Christmas was a time of hope and healing for Ben and his family.
Last year, Ben faced a holiday season filled with uncertainty. Living apart from his parents and grappling with the stress of family difficulties, he struggled to see the magic of Christmas. However, with your help, Barnardos was able to step in and provide the support Ben and his family so desperately needed.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Ben worked closely with his project worker, Diarmuid, in our calming family room. With time and patience, Ben began to open up, sharing his experiences and learning how to express his emotions.
e had presents under the tree and decorations to brighten the day. Most importantly, Ben spent meaningful time with his family, including visits from his parents. For Ben, this Christmas brought moments of happiness and connection he will always remember.
Your kindness has set Ben and his family on a hopeful trajectory. As they continue to work together with Barnardos, they are taking steps toward a brighter, more stable future.
Why Donors Like You Mean Everything to Us
In 2023, Barnardos provided vital support to over 26,000 vulnerable children and families across Ireland, an increase of 25% from the previous year. Vital work was carried out to help these families facing the challenges of poverty, adversity and mental health struggles. This work would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of donors like you.
Your support helps change stories of struggle into stories of hope. Whether it’s giving a child the tools to overcome trauma; helping a family create a stable home; or providing a safe space for healing, your donations have a profound and lasting impact.
