Building a Vital Support for Children & Families

Galway Sick Kids Foundation CLG was “established is to fund-raise for the purchasing of equipment, medical and other, for use in the promotion of health, including the prevention or relief of sickness, disease and human suffering in the Paediatric Unit of University Hospital Galway.

We will support them and their families through stressful times by providing basic facilities, equipment and information in a child-focused, friendly environment. We support the children of Galway, Donegal, Sligo, Roscommon, Mayo and North Clare.
