Support the Programme

Give a family the winter off.

A gift to Home for Christmas buys exactly what it sounds like: a room, a table and a fortnight of quiet for a family who would otherwise spend Christmas in emergency accommodation.

Every euro goes to the cost of a stay — the room, the meals, the small things that make a place feel kept rather than borrowed. You can cover a single night, sponsor a family for the length of theirs, or give whatever you can toward the season.

Where your gift goes
  • The room

    A family's own room at the Leenane Hotel for the nights of their stay.

  • The table

    Three meals a day, cooked and served in the hotel dining room.

  • The season

    A proper Christmas kept — for the children first of all.

Toward the season

Every gift is pooled toward the cost of the programme. Nothing is too small to keep a light on.

Open decision — for the Professor Tier names and amounts, and the season's budget target, are not set. This page is built to hold whatever structure is chosen; publish amounts only once the per-night cost and the donation rail are confirmed.

Make a gift

Ready when the rail is.

The donation button will connect to the Foundation's own account. We are confirming which rail the Foundation uses before wiring anything, so that a family's Christmas is never routed through the wrong ledger.

Donation processing — pending confirmation of the Foundation's rail. See planning notes.
