Light Up a Child's Life

As an extra special way to help us Light up a Child's Life, on Thursday 8th December we will be lighting up the exterior of Temple Street Children's University Hospital using hundreds of light bulbs placed on the building.

Our very special patients & wonderful hospital staff will be invited to gather outside the hospital where a countdown will take place that evening. This is the first time our special hospital will be lit up during the festive season. Following the event, the hospital lights will be switched-on every evening for a period of time during the festive season.

We are asking companies to get involved and help to light up Temple Street by sponsoring a light bulb this Christmas.

Christmas at Temple Street

Light up a Child's Life this Christmas 

This festive season we're asking you to help us Light Up a Child's Life through our Christmas Appeal. There are a variety of unique and special ways for you to light up a child's life this Christmas....

Christmas Toy Fund

Santa's Toy Fund

Christmas is often a difficult time for the children and their families to be in Hospital. So, we strive to make Christmas at Temple Street a very special time for all those in our care and have a close relationship with the big man in red to make sure he doesn't forget Temple Street kids on Christmas Eve.

It is difficult to know exactly what children will be spending Christmas at Temple Street, therefore, this year we are creating a special toy fund, whereby instead of donating a present, you can contribute the cost of a present to the fund. This will help us to provide each and every child a suitable gift at Christmas and make sure each and every letter is answered.

To contribute to the Temple Street toy fund simply click on the button below and enter your donation amount and in the reference type TOY FUND, if you include your email address we will be sure to let you know on Christmas week exactly how you helped put a smile on the face of a sick child this Christmas.

Frightfully good fancy dress parties

Primary School parties

Staff and students from Primary Schools nationwide are invited to take part in the Trick or Treat for Temple Street campaign by hosting a frightfully good fancy dress party at school on Friday, 28th October 2011. Children can be asked to come to school in fancy dress and contribute a small amount, such as €2, to the Trick or Treat for Temple Street campaign.

This year, by hosting a Halloween party, primary schools will be in the running to win a €500 voucher for library books, courtesy of Gill & Macmillan Primary.

Halloween games such as Bobbing for Apples and prizes for the best fancy dress costume all add to the fun of the day! Children can bring their own ‘treats' to the party so that there is no cost involved for the school and Temple Street will supply a party pack with themed decorations for the party. Your local paper may also like to print pictures of the children dressed up and enjoying the party whilst helping a very worthwhile cause.

To give your school the chance to win €500 worth of library books, register your party via the online registration form or contact Marianne Rowan at Temple Street Fundraising Office on 01-878 4639 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Parties for big kids

Halloween is for big kids too! Kids at heart can also join in the fun and host a Halloween party. Temple Street will help you out by providing a free party pack with all the decorations you'll need.

Spread the word about your party online by tweeting using the hashtag #templestreettot
