Ciara Wants You To Hear Her Story

Nothing can prepare you for your child being seriously ill. Seeing them go through lengthy, painful treatment – and being able to do so little to help them – it goes against every protective instinct - Caroline, Ciara's Mum

Childhood stops for seriously ill children. At Barretstown we Press Play on childhood.

Families always talk of how a diagnosis of serious illness means that normal family life stops, everything becomes about the sick child and the fight to save their life. Barretstown helps children and their families deal with the emotional and physiological scars often left after months and years of treatment. Hospitals treat the illness but Barretstown treats the child.
