Despite many obstacles, 2025 was another busy year for Burren Chernobyl Project. Work on several projects continued in the background along with some new ones. 

A huge thank you to all who kept things afloat; our supporters, helpers, volunteers, event organisers, our team on the ground in Belarus and so many more.

Have a read of our newsletter to catch you up on all the goings on throughout the year.

​Some photos in there too, capturing the beautiful memories and friends along the way.

We are honoured to be the chosen charity again this year for the The Caitríona Lucas Challenge 2025.
This year the team are embarking on the Moroccan 3 peaks challenge.
​The team of nine will take on the three peaks in October. 

On August 3rd, over sixty swimmers took to the sea in Lahinch to embark on the 53rd annual Conway family, Brian McCarthy and friends Lahinch to Liscannor. 
53 years of the charity swim and we were once again honoured to be a part of such a wonderful day of community, tradition and celebration.

With thanks to your generous support to Liam's Camino fundraiser we were able to bring some young people from Gorodishche to Minsk for a small summer break.

They were so excited to come back to Dom Zara, their favourite place full of happy memories.

​Here we hosted the group for a week and enjoyed lots of adventures the city has to offer. The group loved the boat ride and meals out but also the smaller things we take for granted such as  shopping in the local supermarket or travelling on the metro. 

Thank you all for your generosity over the past few weeks. We’ve been blown away by your support. With the amount raised so far we are able to take a group of young people from Gorodishche to Minsk on a summer holiday for a week. 
​
Thank you again for your continued support. We hope to keep raising funds for more projects that we’ll continue to share here with you all.  

Best of luck to Liam as he gets his last bit of training in before heading off to begin his Camino.

In June Br. Liam will embark on his first Camino de Santiago beginning in St. Jean Pied de Port in France to raise funds for our ongoing projects.

We'd love if you could show your support to Liam by donating to his fundraiser through the secure iDonate link below. Please also feel free to share with your friends and family.

Happy New Year everyone!
Here is our 2024 Newsletter. Despite continuous hurdles we still managed to carry out several projects throughout the year. None of these projects would have been possible without all your support and the hard work of our small but mighty team on the ground in Belarus.
We are grateful to be able to continue supporting so many in care and also many families in the community.
Your kindness and generousity makes this possible. Thank you all, go raibh míle maith agaibh, Спасибо🌻​

Back in November Daragh Leamy from Scariff Bay Community Radio came to our event in the Falls Hotel to join us for our celebration of 30 years. 

Daragh interviewed some volunteers from over the years and put them together in this lovely piece. 

Grab yourself a cuppa and settle in to listen back on a lovely night and the impact Burren Chernobyl Project has had on so many over the past 30 years.

As many of you know, 2023 marked 30 years of Burren Chernobyl Project. To mark this milestone we took on the challenge of completing 30 projects during the year. 
We've updated you on some but are delighted to announce that with your support we achieved our goal, surpassed it in fact with many other requests popping up throughout the year that we managed to accommodate.
