The Share a Dream Foundation was established by Shay Kinsella in 1989 and quickly achieved charity status (CHY 10006) in 1991. Share a Dream is a voluntary Irish charity which relies entirely on the goodwill of the Irish people and business community to help us do the special work we do. Thanks to them, our charity has grown year on year, into the well run and well known charity that it is today, with a busy future ahead that will bring smiles to thousands of special children’s faces.

What sets the Share a Dream Foundation apart from other hard working social and charitable organisations is that element of magic that we bring into the children’s lives. This would not be possible without the active involvement of many national and international stars from the world of sport, music and entertainment, who always make time for us, as they see first-hand how we brighten the lives of children who most need it.

Every year the Share a Dream Foundation helps hundreds of families throughout Ireland to escape from the everyday lives and just have fun. Our first priority is the needs of the children and their families. We do whatever it takes to provide joyful experiences and to date the Foundation has worked with over 23,500 children and their families all over Ireland.
