SUPPORTING CHILDREN & THEIR FAMILIES ATTENDING
THE PAEDIATRIC UNIT OF UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL GALWAY
Supporting Children & their Families
We began Galway Sick Kids in order to raise funds to make a difference and improve the hospital experience for the children attending University Hospital Galway’s Paediatric unit.
We wanted to support the children and their families through stressful times by providing basic facilities, equipment and information in a child-focused, friendly environment. Our charity helps the children of Galway, Donegal, Sligo, Roscommon, Mayo and North Clare.
