SFAC believe that all children belong in safe families. Vulnerable and at risk children need to live in safe environments with people that care for them. With your support we can achieve this by equipping those who work and care for children with knowledge, skills and resources. We do this by providing training, consultancy and support for charities and governments in developing countries. We are a team of qualified professionals in social work, psychology and law. Our dream is to significantly reduce the number of children that end up on the streets, care for themselves as a child headed household or live in institutional care and do not experience a normal family life.
Curious Minds exists to improve the lives of children and young people. We do this by increasing opportunities for children and young people's active participation in arts and culture. We connect schools and other providers of children's services with vibrant cultural and creative opportunities.
The SET aims to lead the development and delivery of high quality, inclusive and innovative sporting, educational and healthy lifestyle opportunities that raise aspiration, achievement and attainment throughout the region.
Marymount University Hospice Marymount is a Specialist Palliative Care Unit based at Marymount University Hospital Hospice Curraheen Co. Cork, in a state of the art purpose build campus which opened in 2011. Our services are provided free of charge to anyone who needs them. We offer a 44-bed in-patient unit, but the hospice also offers care and support to those patients who choose to be cared for in their own homes. Working in close liaison with community based medical and nursing services, hospice based nurses will visit patients in their own home through the Community Palliative Care team. This service is designed to complement the skills and the resources of the patient’s own family doctor and other community based healthcare professionals. Other services available at Marymount include a Hospice Day Unit and Outpatients Assessment Unit. The overall objective of our palliative care services is to ensure that patients are free from pain and other distressing symptoms, thus enabling them to live full, active and rewarding lives. The Sisters of Charity have cared for the people of Cork since 1870 and that tradition of dedicated and compassionate personal care is still very much in evidence today Hospice care is the total care of the patient and family at that stage of serious illness when the focus has shifted from treatment aimed at cure to ensuring quality of life. It seeks to relieve the physical symptoms of the illness while equally addressing the person’s emotional, social and spiritual needs. It seeks to treat the person rather than the illness and it is all about living life to the end. The Friends of Marymount The Friends are a unit of 30 Volunteers who receive no payments or commissions from any of the Fundraising Events carried out by them or by others on their behalf. In 2005 the Friends received a Civic Award for their contribution to the Voluntary Sector of Cork City. Affilliated to the Irish Hospice Foundation, the Friends of Marymount are a voluntary group who raise funds to enhance the hospital and to benefit the patients. Their major fundraising events are “Sunflower Days” and “Irelands Biggest Coffee Morning”. The Friends are currently fundraising to support and maintain the current level of services available at the Hospital. Hospice, our Daycare Unit and our Home Care Units. Marymount University Hospice is very grateful for the ongoing support which it receives from the HSE, voluntary groups and organisations and also to the people of Cork City and County who have supported the work of the hospice over the past 125 years.

We're a Branch of Samaritans like any other, except that we don't have a building and we don't have a telephone! Instead, we go to events throughout Britain and provide a 24 hour Samaritan service. The events are predominantly out-door music festivals like Glastonbury or Reading, but also various biker, dance, surf, multicultural, lesbian/gay, homeless events, and others. If you're at an event and feel you need to talk something through with a non-judgmental person, in complete confidence, please come by and see us. If it's an outdoor event we will often be standing outside a large tent with a big green SAMARITANS banner. We are a registered charity based in the UK and Republic of Ireland that provides confidential emotional support to any person who is suicidal or despairing; and increases public awareness of issues around suicide and depression.
