What CHI members do!

Volunteer Members have an ongoing active involvement in the work of the

organisation. There are a variety of volunteering opportunities with Children in

Hospital Ireland: working directly with children in our PlayWell hospital play

services, supporting parents at our JustAsk hospital information desks, helping

out with our annual awareness and fundraising events and activities.

Supporter Members are parents and individual members of the public who want

to support the aims and work of the organisation, without necessarily becoming

involved as a volunteer.

Health Professional Members are medical, nursing and allied health

professionals who want to support and reinforce the organisation’s work of

ensuring best practice in the provision of healthcare to children.

Group Members are chronic illness and condition support organisations,

professional representative bodies, children’s hospitals, units and wards. Group

Members are invited to nominate a representative to attend meetings and

seminars held throughout the year where issues and concerns relating to the

provision of healthcare to all sick children can be raised and addressed.

All our members are greatly appreciated and valued!

YOUR membership will help ensure that the organisation remains

strong and continues to provide a voice for all sick children!
