📊 New research highlights the scale and complexity of children’s palliative care needs in Ireland
The Evidence for Children’s Palliative Care in Ireland (ECHPI) study reveals that up to 1 in 168 children and young people in Ireland are living with life‑limiting conditions, nearly double previous estimates.

This landmark study, led by Trinity College Dublin, highlights the urgency of ensuring that policy, services and supports reflect the real scale and complexity of need.
Irish Hospice Foundation is proud to support this research, alongside funding partners LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice and the Health Research Board(HRB), as part of a collaborative effort to strengthen palliative care for children and families across Ireland.

💛 Behind every number is a child and a family navigating complex care — and this research helps ensure their needs are better understood, supported and prioritised.

🏆 We’re proud to share that Irish Hospice Foundation has won the Workplace Wellbeing award at the FBD Insurance Newstalk Changemaker Business Awards 2026, which took place this afternoon at Dublin’s Mansion House. We are delighted to be recognised as being a key innovator through this Newstalk Changemaker award.

This recognition reflects our commitment to fostering a workplace grounded in compassion, connection and care, where staff wellbeing is prioritised and people feel supported to do their best work.

As a non‑profit organisation operating with limited funding, we have taken a creative and collaborative approach to ensuring wellbeing remains central to our culture. This includes embedding flexible working practices, investing in training, awareness and inclusive policies, and supporting staff through initiatives such as our Workplace Wellbeing Group and Social Committee, helping ensure teams feel connected, supported and involved.

We were also shortlisted in the Inclusive Workplace category for our Grief in the Workplace programme, which supports organisations across Ireland to better respond to bereavement and loss.

A heartfelt thank you to our team, this achievement reflects the care, commitment and values they bring to Irish Hospice Foundation every day. 💛

Last week, Irish Hospice Foundation marked an important milestone, celebrating 40 years of impact at a special anniversary reception at the Arthur Cox LLP Dublin office.

It was a privilege to bring together colleagues, along with past and present board members, to reflect on the journey of the organisation and the collective efforts that have shaped our work in end‑of‑life and bereavement care.

As we reflected on this legacy, we also remembered our founder, Dr Mary Redmond, whose vision helped shape the organisation we are today. We were honoured to have Janice Redmond, sister of Dr Mary Redmond, in attendance for this special occasion.

A sincere thank you to Arthur Cox for hosting this event and supporting this important occasion.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to building on this legacy and continue to ensuring the best end-of-life and bereavement care for all. 🌻
