Be a Hero this Autumn: Volunteer at Barretstown! Join us and make a life-changing impact on children with cancer and other serious illnesses. Volunteers are a huge part of the heart and soul of Barretstown and play a leading role in providing the magical, transforming experience we give our campers and their families. They support and encourage each child to take part in all aspects of camp, while making sure they’re safe and supervised at all times. And most importantly you’ll help them have fun! Our autumn season runs from 6th September to 8th December, featuring 16 camps, usually from Friday to Sunday.

Well, what a weekend spending time with my Applegreen colleagues cycling 300km for the sick children who need support from Barretstown. I cannot tell you how overwhelmed I am with the support I have received from family, friends and some distant friends from years ago who have sent me a motivating note and donated. I’m blown away as we have raised over €100k for Barretstown. This is year one for me but my current colleagues have been doing this for a while and , as a business, Applegreen have partnered with this great charity and pledged to raise €1m! Thank you everyone. I feel great. 👍

This Friday, with the gang from Applegreen we, as a team, embark on a charity cycle for Barretstown. I’m so proud to take part and raise funds for a fantastic charity who support seriously ill children. Please ,could I ask any of my contacts to support me in this final hurdle before the cycle. Thank you to those who have supported me already and to my husband for sorting out the stuff I need to do this Colin Gaffney . Dig deep lads 😀 https://lnkd.in/eGw6yhKp

Earlier this week, three members of our Marketing and Outreach teams attended the Creating More Joy SeriousFun Children's Network Conference in Dublin, Ireland! The conference kicked off with a tour to the Irish SeriousFun camp Barretstown! The next two days hosted large group discussions, break out sessions, and co-hort meetings. Our team got to share, strategize, and network with Marketing and Outreach teams from 8 different countries in order to grow programming, techniques, and story telling. On Day 3, Jenn and Mackenzie from our Marketing team presented to the group about a “marketing success” from our camp. They chose our S’More Camp T-shirt challenge to share how it spreads awareness and FUN in September in our community. The team said the conference sessions were innovative and inspiring... while the best part were the incredible connections that were made across the SeriousFun camps! 🍀 #SeriousFun #Barretstown

Congratulations to our Patron Sabina Coyne Higgins and President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins on their 50th Wedding Anniversary from all the team at Barretstown.

We are deeply grateful for the generous support of the Applegreen Charitable Fund for our inaugural '24 Summer Camp. The Barretstown campus provides life-changing therapeutic programmes for children with cancer and other serious illnesses, all free of charge. To discover how the partnership between Barretstown and Applegreen is making a difference to the lives of children with serious illnesses, meet Alex and Elayna, two incredible siblings who were born with a congenital bleeding disorder - Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia (GT) - that left them covered in swollen, massive bruises from head to toe. Like so many other children, they found hope and joy in Barretstown.
