Get Involved with Hugh's House
Become a Hugh's House Volunteer
Volunteering for Hugh’s House is a deeply rewarding way to make a meaningful difference in the lives of families with seriously ill children. Our volunteers are the heartbeat of the charity, giving their time, energy, and compassion to ensure that every parent, guardian, and sibling who walks through our doors feels supported. Whether you’re helping at events, assisting with fundraising efforts, lending a hand with day-to-day tasks, or contributing your skills to the maintenance and upkeep of the house, your involvement directly strengthens our ability to provide comfort and stability during a family’s most challenging moments. Every act of kindness—big or small—helps create the warm, welcoming, and safe environment that Hugh’s House is known for. By volunteering, you become part of a community that stands beside families when they need it most, making their difficult journey a little gentler and filled with hope.
Sponsor a Room in Hugh's House
Sponsoring a room in Hugh’s House is one of the most impactful ways you can support families facing the unimaginable challenge of having a seriously ill child in hospital. Your sponsorship ensures that parents and siblings have a safe, free, and comfortable place to stay just minutes away from their loved one, easing both emotional and financial strain during an incredibly stressful time. By helping to cover essential costs, from heating and maintenance to bedding, supplies, and everyday comforts, you ensure that each room remains warm, welcoming, and fully equipped for families who may be far from home and under immense pressure. Your generosity doesn’t just keep a room running; it gives families the gift of togetherness, rest, and hope when they need it more than ever. Sponsoring a room is a powerful way to stand with them, offering comfort, stability, and support at a moment when it truly matters.
Send us your Gift Cards & Vouchers
Hugh’s House relies on the generosity of gift vouchers to help support families who find themselves far from home while their child receives hospital care. These families often arrive suddenly, with little time to prepare, and the daily costs of living away from home can become overwhelming. Vouchers for groceries, toiletries, meals, or fuel can make a world of difference, easing practical burdens that might otherwise add stress to an already difficult situation. With these small but meaningful gifts, parents can access the essentials they need without worry, allowing them to focus entirely on what matters most, their child’s recovery and wellbeing. Every voucher, no matter the amount, brings both practical relief and a sense of comfort, reminding families that they are not alone during one of the most challenging periods of their lives.
Philanthropy
Philanthropy plays a vital role in ensuring that Hugh’s House can continue its mission of providing free, safe, and comforting accommodation to families of seriously ill children. The generosity of individuals, companies, and charitable foundations enables us to maintain this lifeline, funding everything from essential services and household upkeep to the small, everyday comforts that make a house feel like a home. These philanthropic contributions ensure that parents and siblings can stay close to their child during critical moments without the added burden of financial worry or long-distance travel. By supporting Hugh’s House, donors become part of a compassionate community that stands with families when they are at their most vulnerable, creating a haven of warmth, stability, and hope. Their kindness not only keeps our doors open, but also provides families with the strength and reassurance they need while navigating an incredibly challenging journey.
Hold your very own
HUGHSDAY
At Hugh’s House, we believe no parent should have to choose between being with their sick child and having a place to stay. That’s why we’re inviting businesses, offices, schools, and communities across Ireland to turn an ordinary Tuesday into something powerful — a Hughsday.
​
What Is Hughsday?
Hughsday is a fun, flexible fundraising event held on any Tuesday of your choice, designed to support the families who stay with us at Hugh’s House while their children are receiving critical care in Dublin hospitals.
​
It can be as simple or as creative as you like — from a coffee morning or an ice cream afternoon to a fancy dress day, a bake sale, a lunchtime walk, or even a workplace quiz.
​
Whatever you do, every euro raised goes directly toward keeping families close to their sick children when they need each other the most.
​
To make your Hughsday easy and successful, Hugh’s House will provide:
-
Customisable artwork and posters for your event
-
Branded Hugh’s House t-shirts for your team or group
-
Official collection buckets to help you gather donations
​
Whether you're organising something big with your whole company or just gathering a few classmates, we’re here to support you.
