The Impact of Barretstown

At Barretstown, we offer medically endorsed therapeutic camps and programmes for children with cancer and other serious illnesses. Our camps feature a range of adventurous and challenging activities, all supported by medical and nursing care – all free of charge.

Our therapeutic programmes aim to help children and families battling cancer and other serious illnesses to regain a sense of belonging. Through this serious fun, we give children the opportunity to create long-lasting memories.

Cancer and other serious illnesses can put a stop to the joy of childhood. At Barretstown, we help children rediscover the joy of simply being children again.

What is Barretstown?

Barretstown is an organisation that provide residential camps and programmes for children and their families affected by cancer and other serious illnesses, as well as school and hospital outreach programmes for all those who need us.

Our families are given a chance to unwind, destress, and enjoy quality family time together in a serious fun, safe, and relaxing environment. Since opening our gates in 1994, we've been there for over 120,000 children and their families, all free of charge, and we'll be here for you too.
