Many charities have been badly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, including the Barretstown Children's Charity.

Barretstown provides residential programmes for seriously ill children and their families, but is currently unable to do so.

These children are now feeling the effects of isolation, and as a result the charity has created Barretstown LIVE to deliver its programmes directly to people's homes.

We were joined by Dee Ahearn, CEO of Barretstown, and Ashley Keenan, who is the parent of an immunocompromised child, to find out more about the initiative.

If would like to make a donation, please go to barretstown.org.
