To Russia with Love is a registered Irish charity dedicated to creating a better future for Russia’s forgotten orphans. It is our belief that every child deserves a real childhood and a bright future. Unfortunately many of the children who end up in the Russian orphanage system face enormous obstacles as a result of neglect, abandonment or abuse. Our aim is to make Hortolova Orphanage in Bryansk, Western Russia a centre of excellence, taking an individual approach with each child and rebuilding their self worth, self esteem and confidence in a loving and caring environment. With the help of the Irish public, we are now starting to spread the models of best practice developed in Hortolova to the other 11 orphanages across the Bryansk region and we hope eventually across Russia.

The Billy Byrne National Children’s Charity The Billy Byrne National Children’s Charity is a new charity set up to create a wonderful adventure theme park - Billy's World - for families with children with special needs and their siblings – a place for the entire family to enjoy, together! Often when families with special needs children go on holiday, the child is unable to take part in what is going on around them due to the lack of appropriate facilities in many holiday parks. It is difficult for the family to enjoy a holiday while they know the child cannot participate. Billy's World also provides an educational aspect. At different stages throughout the year seminars, open days and conferences will be held with talks and lectures from experts in varying conditions and disorders. We hope these can provide medical knowledge, understanding and information to the families on their child's disorder. Billy's World is about the family being able to have a hassle-free holiday and allowing siblings the opportunity to interact with each other. Every child deserves the right to experience fun whether it is to ride a go-kart and feel the breeze on their face, a quad bike, play football, swim, and cycle a bike, row a boat or whatever they would wish to do. All it needs is a little imagination and some well planned adjustments. At Billy's World every possible effort will be made to meet the needs of the child. Alongside this they can make life-long friends and networking opportunities. It also caters for the siblings of these children (as they too need support) by coming to the realisation and understanding that they are not alone and that other boys and girls out there have a brother or sister with special needs.
