The ISPCC is the national child protection and welfare charity in Ireland. Everything it does is focused on keeping children safe, and giving them the support they need to thrive. ISPCC Child and Family support and mentoring services work with 1500 families and children across Ireland, and its 24-hour national listening service Childine responded to 460,000 contacts from children last year. The ISPCC helps children cope with issues that affect them such as; isolation and loneliness, bullying, mental health difficulties, cyber safety, drug and alcohol misuse, trauma, violence and abuse. While some ISPCC services are a partnership with government, more than 80% of our funding comes from the generosity of the Irish public, individual or corporate donations. ISPCC also depends on the commitment of its 600 volunteers who give their time to listen to, and mentor, children across Ireland, and provide an invaluable support to a generation of children who need help.
Caroline Downey President of The ISPCC and producer of the 2fm Xmas Ball said We work to support and help children 24-hours a day, every day, throughout the whole year. However, at Christmas, some children need even more support to cope. Throughout the Christmas period, we will be supporting, listening and protecting children. Myself, Grainia Long our CEO and the children who need and use our services are incredibly grateful for the support of all the artists, RT 2fm, 3 Arena and MCD for their ongoing commitment to keeping children safe.
Head of 2fm, Dan Healy said: We're absolutely thrilled that ISPCC have chosen 2fm as their partner for this prestigious event. Not only does it give 2fm a great opportunity to support this wonderful charity it also gives us the opportunity to reinforce our ongoing support of great Irish artists and Irish music. As part of our public service remit, putting Irish charities front and centre is a key component of our output and there's nothing more important than giving aid and support to vulnerable children. This partnership is spearheaded by Caroline Downey and we're full of admiration for her and the work of her team at the ISPCC. It's guaranteed to be a great event!
All parties involved with the 2fm Xmas Ball are providing their services free of charge on the night including artists, organisers and 3Arena. The complete funding of the concert goes towards the financial support and aid of the 24 hour phone-line and the anti bullying campaign dedicated to helping children.
Tickets 45.00 go on sale this Friday October 23rd at 9am from the following outlets: Ticketmaster outlets nationwide, 24 hr Hotline: 0818 719 300 24 hr, or online: www.ticketmaster.ie.
