Make a Lasting Difference This Christmas

This Christmas, YMCA Dublin is inviting businesses and workplaces to join us in creating a brighter future for families and young people facing significant challenges. Together, we can make a lasting impact—not just for the holiday season, but for the year ahead.

For over 175 years, YMCA Dublin has been supporting families and young people through some of life’s toughest challenges. With your help, we can continue to provide critical resources, stability, and hope to those who need it most.

Why Your Support Matters

Families like Jen’s are counting on us.

Jen, a single mother of two, faced overwhelming challenges when the pandemic disrupted her job. Struggling with financial instability, mental health issues, and fears for her teenage son’s future, Jen turned to YMCA Dublin for help.

We stepped in to provide immediate support—subsidising childcare costs, connecting her with affordable counselling, and enrolling her son in our youth mentoring programme.

When homelessness became a looming threat, we advocated for her and helped secure the resources she needed. Today, Jen and her children are thriving—a testament to the transformative power of community support.

This holiday season, there are many more families like Jen’s in need of urgent support. Together, we can ensure they receive the help they need—not just during Christmas, but throughout the year.

Here are some ways your workplace or business can support our Christmas appeal:

  • Sponsor Holiday Gifts: Partner with us to provide meaningful gifts for children and young people who rely on our services.
  • Host a Fundraiser: Engage your team with a Christmas Jumper Day or other festive activity to raise funds and foster a spirit of giving.

The Impact Of Your Support
