WE NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS ONE!

Times are really hard for everyone lately, we are collectively pulling tough this but imagine you are a child in a Direct Provision Centre through all of this...

In 2018, thanks to all of you sound heads we managed to get gifts for almost (next)
100 children in Clondalkin DP Centre, last year thanks again to you we got gifts for 500 kids and had a party in Dalymount thanks to RAMSI and Bohemian FC.

This year we’ve spoken to MASI - Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland and have set our target at 1000 children (next)
children without the things other children take for granted - get behind this and let’s show them a huge Céad Míle Fáilte!

Due to Covid-19 restrictions we will be doing the majority of donations online this year. If you can and are within the 5km of Bang Bang Phibsboro (next)
you can drop gifts in too (new gifts only and unwrapped please, also we cannot accept very large items, or any second hand items whatsoever - please respect this request).

We've set a target of €30,000 (€30 for each child) and we will then work with toy retailers (next)
and one-for-all to get gifts for all children.

This is a joint collaboration between Bang Bang who are leading on the call-out for donations.

@bfcdublin where all gifts will be sorted, stored and packed and who will also promote.

@DHLExpressIre who have agreed (next)
once again to deliver the packages to the centres across Ireland.

@masi_asylum who are co-ordinating the list of children

Direct Provision needs to end - it is inhumane and degrading - let’s brighten up Christmas for these kids
