Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page on iDonate.ie. I'm taking part in the Calcutta Run 2018 on Saturday 26 May 2018.  

All donations made by you will go directly to The Hope Foundation and the Peter McVerry Trust.

The Hope Foundation's mission statement is that it should never hurt to be a child. Since 1999 they have worked tirelessly in Calcutta to take children off the streets and give them, food, care, education and a sense of love and worth. The Hope Foundation is dedicated to promoting the protection of street and slum children in Calcutta and the most underprivileged in India. The Hope Foundation works to effect immediate and lasting change in their lives. Projects in Calcutta include educating children, providing healthcare, counselling and education and building mother & child units. The Hope Foundation ensures children in its care enter adulthood equipped with the tools and support they need to live healthy and happy lives. 

Peter McVerry Trust provides a wide range of services including homeless and housing services, drug treatment and detox services, as well as under-18 residential services to people experiencing homelessness in Dublin, Kildare and Limerick. The number of children recorded as experiencing homelessness in December 2017 was 3,079 (the total in Ireland including adults was 8,587). It is vital that we continue supporting the Peter McVerry Trust to ensure those people experiencing homelessness are cared for and sustained as they move towards a home of their own.
