Alex's StoryExperience the Magic of Barretstown
Barretstown offers free, specially designed camps and programmes for children and their families living with a serious illness – supported behind the scenes by 24 hour on site medical and nursing care. Learn more about how our life-changing programmes can help your family.
What is Barretstown?
At Barretstown we run onsite residential camps and programmes for children and their families affected by serious illnesses like cancer, as well as virtual, school and hospital outreach programmes for all those who need us.
Our families are given a chance to unwind, destress and enjoy quality family-time together in a fun, safe and relaxing environment. Since opening our gates in 1994, we've been there for over 70,000 children and their families, and we'll be here for you too.
Fundraising Inspiration in 2022
Host your own Big Picnic this June and help raise funds for Barretstown's Therapeutic Programmes - Invite friends and family to your home or the park, or even bring the fun of camp into the workplace and share a picnic with your colleagues.
