Barretstown is a residential camp for children with a serious illness

offering a range of fun and adventurous activities supported behind the scenes by safe, medical attention and care.

Coming to Barretstown restores something that has been taken away

by serious illness and helps children to regain their self-confidence, self-esteem and a chance to rediscover their childhood. Each year it costs almost €4.5 million to run the programmes at Barretstown and we need your help to do this. Children and families don’t pay a cent; everything, including accommodation, food, medical care and activities are provided free of charge.
