Vodafone Ireland Foundation – Working to keep children safe by keeping them connected
In 2016 the Vodafone Ireland Foundation announced a strategic partnership with ISPCC Childline with the joint vision of working towards ‘keeping children safe by keeping them connected.’ ISPCC is the national child protection charity in Ireland and answers over 400,000 calls each year.
Through the partnership Vodafone has committed to covering the cost of all calls into the service until 2025, as well as donating €2m from the foundation over 5 years.
The four key pillars we have committed to supporting are:
- Technology – to help Childline build a new digital platform.
- Internet safety – to support Childline’s mission of educating and protecting children in the online world.
- Brand and comms – to help increase awareness of ISPCC Childline with children across Ireland.
- Internal engagement – to encourage our employees to support the partnership using their skills and fundraising.
