Our History

Children's Health Foundation History

Years of life-saving work

For many years, Temple Street Foundation and CMRF Crumlin have worked tirelessly with the help of individuals, communities and companies to support the urgent, life-saving work that takes place in CHI at Temple Street and Crumlin (formerly Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin and Temple Street Children’s University Hospital).

Impact of donations

Right across the hospitals – in wards, theatres, departments, Intensive Care Units and research centres – you can see the positive and on-going impact of donations, which allow CHI’s medical teams to continue to provide world-class medical treatment and care to sick children and their families. 

Children’s Health Ireland (CHI)

In January 2019, the legal structure of the three existing children’s hospitals – Temple Street Children’s University Hospital, Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin and National Children’s Hospital Tallaght  – were merged under one new health group, Children’s Health Ireland (CHI).

Children’s Health Foundation

To prepare for the future of paediatric healthcare in Ireland and to ensure that we can continue to support patients and their families in every step of their journey, Temple Street Foundation and CMRF Crumlin also came together as Children’s Health Foundation at the beginning of 2019 to work together for sick children.
