The Property Race Day Ireland is a hugely enjoyable day for all those present, enabling the great and the good of the Irish property industry to meet and help to support our charitable causes along the way.
The chosen charities for 2024:
CHARITIES
Barretstown
Barretstown offers free residential therapeutic programmes at their unique specially designed campus in Co. Kildare and through outreach programmes in hospitals and schools throughout Ireland, for children and their families living with a serious illness.
When a child is seriously ill, their life becomes about everything they can’t do anymore, and they can stop feeling like a regular child. Even when they physically start to get better, the psychological scars of their illness, or that of their siblings, can remain, eroding confidence, diminishing self-esteem and coping skills.
Barretstown empowers and encourages each child to step out of their comfort zone and re-build their confidence through their medically endorsed therapeutic prebuild. They start to discover the magic of being a child again.
In 2023 it will cost over €8 million to run their programmes and they receive just 2% funding from the government.
Since first opening their gates in 1994 Barretstown has brought the magic of their therapeutic programmes to over 85,000 children and family members.
Childhood stops for seriously ill children. At Barretstown they Press Play.

Make-a-Wish
Make-A-Wish Ireland has one simple aim – to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness.
Since 1992, Make-A-Wish has granted wishes for more than 2,900 brave children across Ireland. A wish granted is true magic for the child, providing respite from their normal routines of hospitals, doctors and treatment.
Make-A-Wish does not receive any government funding and relies overwhelmingly on the kindness of the Irish public to continue granting wishes.
As a well-respected and popular children’s charity, Make-A-Wish is fully committed to providing the maximum level of care and enjoyment for our children and their families. This is achieved through a combination of professionalism, attention to detail and sensitivity. Nothing is too much trouble for a wish child.
In all possible cases, Make-A-Wish ensures that all immediate family members can participate in the child’s wish. In doing so the family can create lasting, happy memories.

ISPCC
The ISPCC is for children.
Our purpose is to listen to them, empower them, strengthen their resilience and enable them to live their best possible lives.
The ISPCC provides a range of services directly to children and families and advocates for change to enhance the lives of children in Ireland.
The ISPCC’s work is made possible through public and corporate support, as well as funding provided by government agencies for the delivery of specified services.
We seek to make child protection a national priority, by advising government on policy and practice change. We work with state agencies, employers, industries, schools and other organisations to build awareness of risks to children, and ensure high standards of practice.
