It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child. The young dancers participation in the Riverdanceathon on the 19th June, is a testament to the power of community. With their support, Barnardos are able to create safe spaces for children to learn, grow, and thrive – helping to change their story. Every euro raised can make a world of difference to a vulnerable child so please give what you can.

Here are three ways your individual fundraising efforts can help other children.
