for Investing in our children
All donations no matter how small help! We can do this with YOUR help. We are an unfunded, voluntary museum and your kind donations are our only source of income. In order to keep this museum, a groundbreaking first for Ireland, a free museum, we need your help and support. And to provide the museum with a permanent home, we need it all the more…
Thank you to everyone who has helped and is helping our fundraising effort. Your generosity enabled our team to engage in-person with over 1,000 children and adolescents across Ireland during 2024 alone.
In the words of Senator Alice-Mary Higgins “There is no simple or singular version of childhood in Ireland or anywhere.”
Valuing every version of childhood and each child is at the core of the Museum’s work.
Investing in our children, ensures brighter, better outcomes.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
