The Irish College of Humanities and Applied Sciences is a college dedicated to Counselling and Psychotherapy. Many of the students, current and past, are involved with a number of charities and foundations including ‘Saoirse’, ‘It’s Good to Talk’ and ‘South Hill Outreach’.

The Share a Dream Foundation move heaven and earth to make a dream come true for a child who is terminally ill. Every effort is made to include the immediate family in the child’s dream. We are helping to make the seemingly impossible become possible.

President of the Students Union, Patrick Fitzgerald explains the reason for their choice of charity, “We decided for Christmas that we would love to do something for a charity involving children and since ‘Share A Dream’ are just up the road from us, we invited them down for a chat about how we will organize an event for them.”

The Irish College of Humanities and Applied Sciences is located at Walton House, Lonsdale Road, Castletroy, Limerick.

The students have created a Facebook event page for the day which can be found here.
