What CMRF Crumlin Do

Research and Equipment
The charity CMRF Crumlin was originally set up to provide vital funding to paediatric research, an area that remains underfunded globally.
This work is a beacon of hope to hundreds of thousands of families who face weeks, months and often years of disruption and challenges due to childhood illness, disease or disability. Paediatric research is a global effort to find better treatments, cures, and improved ways to manage and prevent childhood illness.
Critical Support to Sick Children
Every year, thousands of children attend Crumlin for critical care and support. Many arrive by ambulance needing urgent treatment; others have serious long-term conditions and complex care needs. Every one of them receives extraordinary care, giving them the very best chance of getting better and thriving.
CMRF Crumlin provides critical support and funding for sick children from all over Ireland who attend CHI at Crumlin for diagnosis, treatment and care throughout their patient journey. Fundraising remains essential to keeping this support going, and the charity continues to rely on the generosity of people across Ireland and beyond to help fund the hospital’s ongoing work.
Our little heroes need your support now as much as ever.
