The Bubblegum Club is an Irish registered charity whose mission is to provide extraordinary outings for extraordinary children, many of whom suffer from life threatening illness, long term debilitating illness or are disadvantaged in some other way.

The Bubblegum Club provides professional care in a fun environment – giving kids a great boost, but also providing a well-earned break for the parents, family and carers. The Bubblegum Club was founded in 1994 by Peter Harris and has now helped over 15,000 children.

Each year the club runs a number of major events including the Ski Trip to France, the break to Alton Towers, the HeliCruise, the Garden Party and the spectacular Winter Wonderland. As important as these events are, the myriad of one-off days we organise for children with exceptional requirements – we prepare and deliver around 20 specials each year – every one unique and probably the last defining day in that child’s life. These special days are not high-profile and publicity is often the last thing that is sought so you may not be aware of them, but they are without doubt the difference between The Bubblegum Club and many other charities – the children don’t just come first – they are the only thing that matters!

The charity is staffed entirely by volunteers – a mixture of nurses, doctors, professional carers, business and professional people and suitably vetted helpers. Over the last 15 years we have developed great experience and supportive contacts which enable us to put on a fantastic show quickly, efficiently and cost effectively.

It is not an easy vocation to drive a charity when there are so many worthy causes displayed on television and in newspapers every day and we would never wish for people to neglect them, nor would we ever want to replace a public body or government agency in providing care that they are obligated to deliver, but we are absolutely committed to providing opportunities for our children to experience 100% fun at least once in their lives – we do it and we do it well.
