Bring a successful hands-on fundraising experience to your community this Christmas!

For many years, Transition Year and secondary school students across Dublin have taken part in Holly, a festive fundraising initiative supporting Childline.

We’re now inviting schools across Ireland to get involved and bring this much-loved activity to their own towns and communities.

Students spend approximately 3 hours selling Holly pins on the streets of your town/city, in your school, at an event or in your local shopping centre. Volunteering by engaging with the public, developing valuable skills, and raising funds that help Childline continue to be there for children and young people! 

Interested in taking part? Complete the form below and we’ll be in touch.

What’s Included?

Schools taking part will receive:

  • Holly pins and collection materials
  • A fundraising and event guide
  • Support from the Childline team
  • Assistance with event planning and logistics where needed
  • Resources to help promote the activity within your school

A meaningful experience for your students!

Give students the opportunity to build confidence, communication and teamwork skills while representing their school in the local community. 

Support a great cause 

Every holly pin sold helps Childline be there for children and young people who need support.

Our Dublin events typically involve around 60-80 students from one school, but groups can be smaller or larger. If you're unsure, just give us your best estimate and we will work with you to plan the day.

Good to know

Our team will support you with any permits and documentation required for the day. We'll provide the holly pins, collection materials, guidance and ongoing support. *No previous fundraising experience is needed.
