You may have heard that we have been forced to halt construction of our National Child Development Centre in October just 6 months after works started.

With children in Ireland already languishing for YEARS on public waiting lists for vital assessment and therapies such as speech & language therapy and occupational therapy, it is vital that Sensational Kids can continue to build and open this much needed facility.

Once open, 300 children per week will benefit from therapies and assessments at this National Child Development Centre and will help to transform their lives and reach their potential.

How your kind donation will help:

• This forced halting of construction is costing Sensational Kids a further €200,000+ to close, demobilize insure and secure the site.
• Works are now needed to weatherproof and stabilise the works completed to date that are now left open to the detriment of the winter weather.
• Once construction starts again, it will be subject to inflation in 2025 and will also now incur remobilisation costs.
• We are now focused on raising the final €1 million needed to complete this exciting project to cover all these additional costs and reach our fundraising target for this much needed facility that will bring so much hope and transform the lives of children in need.

The National Child Development Centre gives you an opportunity to give a meaningful gift that will have a long-lasting impact on the lives of tens of thousands of children and families for many years to come.

Your gift will make a difference to the lives of children with additional needs.

If you are looking for a meaningful way to make a difference, just imagine the difference that your gift will make to build better futures for children with additional needs, when you make a thoughtful donation to this special project.

In the meantime we are continuing to call on and liaise with the government to:

• 1) Release the remaining approved €4.8 million investor funding to allow construction to be substantially completed and weatherproofed and
• 2) The government/HSE to provide €4+ million for the fit-out costs

The National Child Development Centre simply must go ahead as we refuse to fail our children.

Please help us Save Our Site and get construction of our National Child Development Centre back on track and most importantly so that it can help transform the lives of vulnerable children who are waiting for it to open.

Thank you!
