Our Street and Door-to-Door Fundraisers
Consistent and predictable income
Face-to-face fundraising is one of the best ways for us to raise awareness of the critical work that happens in the hospitals, and the funds needed to support that work, through the support of committed monthly donors. It is a well-established activity that many established charities are using.
Â
This type of giving ensures that we have consistent and predictable income to look after our little heroes. This means we can plan efficiently and have the security and income to continue to provide world-class facilities, research and compassionate loving care for every sick child in Ireland.
