LauraLynn News

Families and staff come together for a special day of reflection, memory, and communal support.

LauraLynn is proud to have been awarded the 2026 Triple Lock certification by the Charities Institute Ireland, recognising our ongoing commitment to transparency, ethical fundraising, and good governance.

LauraLynn is honoured to be recognised in two categories at the upcoming Irish Healthcare Centre Awards, celebrating our Community Care Services and our innovative approach to disability respite care. 

When weather warnings forced the cancellation of our planned outdoor campus parade, the LauraLynn team quickly brought the magic indoors for an unforgettable St. Patrick's Day celebration. 

LauraLynn, Ireland’s only Children’s Hospice, has launched its new 24‑Hour Challenge, an expanded evolution of its popular Treadmill Challenge, with broadcaster Lorraine Keane, GAA star Pádraig O’Hora, and LauraLynn Nurse Kate Hourigan joined by Emily Ahearne and her mum Ann, who attend LauraLynn, to officially kick off this year’s campaign.

Horkans Group, through its Petworld stores, has transformed the traditional Christmas Jumper Day into a campaign of extraordinary generosity. Thanks to the incredible support of their staff and customers, Petworld raised a phenomenal €21,000 during the 2025 festive season alone, bringing their total funds raised for LauraLynn to over €73,000 since 2021.

LauraLynn children and families enjoyed a special day as they took to the stage of Ireland’s national theatre for this year's LauraLynn at the Abbey. 

To mark LauraLynn’s Thank You Day on Wednesday, 21st January, we are delighted to commence our annual Thank You Week.
