Community Fundraising at Barretstown.
We remain the leading provider of Therapeutic Recreation in Europe for children with cancer and other serious illnesses.
Since then we have continued to develop our wonderful site at Barretstown Castle in Co Kildare to become a state of the art, world-class centre for Therapeutic Recreation or as the kids say – “a place where some Serious Fun happens”.
The Therapeutic Recreation programme brings campers through a fun, activity-based process of challenge, success, reflection and discovery.
