Crowleys DFK Announces LauraLynn as Charity Partner for 2020-2022
Crowleys DFK is delighted to announce LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice as its Charity Partner of the Year for 2020-2022.
LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice is the only children’s hospice in the Republic of Ireland. They provide specialised hospice care to children with life limiting conditions and their families from all across Ireland.

In partnership with LauraLynn, a programme of support will be designed to meet the charity’s requirements. Details of the programme will be announced over the coming weeks.
Colette continued,
“As well as organising and taking part in fundraising events, we hope to get involved by giving our time and expertise where needed. Members of our CSR Team will be visiting the hospice in the coming weeks to witness first-hand the fantastic care and support provided by LauraLynn.”
LauraLynn offers a range of care and services including:
- Short Breaks (for the child and family in the hospice to give the family a break);
- Home Support (nursing care and therapeutic activities in the home);
- Family Supports (activities & therapies to help the while family cope day-to-day, including Play therapy and Family Camps);
- End-of-Life Care (offering families the choice to bring their child home or avail of the hospice during this time); and
- Bereavement Support (ongoing support to help parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents and the wider family cope with their loss).
Claire Shiels, Corporate Fundraiser at LauraLynn commented;
