Bring ‘Holly to your hometown’ this Christmas

Get your school involved and help raise vital funds for Childline

Selling Childline Holly pins has become a Christmas tradition for Transition Year and secondary school students across Dublin. However, this year we’re inviting schools across Ireland to bring Holly to their hometowns!

Students can get involved by volunteering for just three hours, selling Holly pins in their local town, shopping centre, school or an event of your choice.

It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to give back to their community, develop valuable skills and help ensure Childline is there for children and young people who need support this Christmas.
