Helping communities right around the country
Over a memorable weekend last November, an audience of 1.8 million viewers helped to raise over €6.6 million for the RTÉ Toy Show Appeal to help change children's lives for good. Working in partnership with The Community Foundation for Ireland, the monies raised will be used to support the work of registered children’s charities and community groups right across the island of Ireland.
All grants will be independently assessed and awarded by The Community Foundation for Ireland. Last year the grants awarded are estimated to have helped over 650,000 children and family members. For more details on the range of projects supported please see here: RTE-Toy-Show-Appeal-Impact-Report.pdf
