Thank You Thursday goes out to the amazing Sophia, who took part in Locks of Love for LauraLynn by bravely cutting her hair to help others. 💇♀️✨
Her generous act not only contributes to creating a real-hair wig for a child in need, but also raises vital funds for children with life-limiting conditions at LauraLynn. That’s two incredible impacts from one beautiful gesture! 💜🌈

Having fun in engaging outdoor spaces is central to the ethos of LauraLynn, which aims to ensure patients get to be children and families can have downtime together creating memories that last. Our fully accessible playground will mean that children of all abilities and ages can play together and build sibling bonds and experiences.
Here’s Liam soaking up the joy and showing us exactly why inclusive spaces matter ✨

Rory brought smiles and sweetness to LauraLynn with his vanilla sponge cake, adorably shaped like a rabbit and baked perfectly! Dressed in his chef hat and apron, he looked every bit the part as he stirred in the kitchen 👨🏼🍳🍰💛
Proof that the simplest acts and tastiest treats can make the best memories! 🐰

Out for a Stroll with Conall, Cadan, and Isabella! The trio moved through the park, finding shade beneath the trees where the sunlight shun through the leaves creating patterns across the ground like a disco ball.
At LauraLynn, these are the moments we cherish most. Taking time in the day to create memories, to connect, and to simply be present. 🌿☀️

Seaside Adventures in Bray 🌊🎡
Luke and Sophia kicked off their day with games and laughter at Bray Amusements, then found their way down the promenade for some sandcastle building by the sea. The breeze and sound of waves made it feel a true summers day, despite the grey clouds. 🌫️
Ryan rocked his cool sunglasses, while Sophia wore her pink and blue cloud raincoat.

LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice was formed in 2011 following the merging of the long standing Children’s Sunshine Home and the LauraLynn Foundation, formed by Jane and Brendan McKenna in memory of their precious daughters, Laura and Lynn, who tragically both passed away within less than 2 years of each other. LauraLynn now comprises LauraLynn Hospice Service and Hazel House and Willow View Disability Services.
The LauraLynn Hospice Service provides palliative care and support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families from across Ireland. Our holistic approach to care ensures that we are supporting the whole family, allowing parents to have time to be ‘Mums and Dads’ rather than full-time carers.
We offer support for children from birth to their 18th birthday
All of our care is free for families
Children can be referred to LauraLynn from anywhere in Ireland
LauraLynn@HOME programme, provides hospice care for children in the comfort of their own home in Dublin North-East and Dublin Mid-Leinster Regions.
Our children’s palliative care is delivered through our Interdisciplinary Team. We work in partnership with the child’s primary care team with a shared goal of ensuring high quality Family Support, Symptom Management, End-of-Life Care, Bereavement Support and Direct Care.
Additionally, our Hazel House Disability Service provides, residential, crisis and respite care to children and adolescents with profound learning difficulties accompanied by physical disabilities, complex healthcare needs and sensory impairments.
While our Willow View Disability Service provides residential care for adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. In line with national policy, we no longer accept referrals for our Willow View service but are committed to taking care of our adult residents, who have been in our care since childhood.
In striving for excellence in the provision of children’s palliative care, LauraLynn has a Clinical Education & Training Department, whose remit is to provide a range of educational programmes and initiatives for healthcare professionals and others interested in improving quality of care.
