About LauraLynn
LauraLynn is a hospice for children with life-limiting conditions and residential care for children and young adults with disabilities. They employ approximately 140 staff within their teaching, fundraising, and care provision departments.
LauraLynn's mission is to provide a Community of Care that delivers evidence-based, personalised services to children with palliative care needs, complex care needs and complex disabilities, while also providing family support services and a home to their residents where quality-of-life is paramount.
Who They Are
LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice was formed in 2011 following the merging of the long-standing Children’s Sunshine Home and the LauraLynn Foundation, founded by Jane and Brendan McKenna. It provides a ‘Community of Care’ that comprises the only children’s hospice in Ireland (LauraLynn Hospice Service) as well as two local disability services (LauraLynn Disability Service). Their services are operated from the main campus in Leopardstown, Dublin 18, and from the Hospice Community Team in Mallow, Co. Cork and Ballinasloe, Co. Galway.
