St. Patrick’s Hospital Foundation fundraises on behalf of St. Patrick’s University Hospital.

It is over 250 years since Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and one of Ireland’s best known authors founded St. Patrick’s specifically to provide services to people suffering from mental illness. Today the need for our services is greater than ever.

One in four people in Ireland will suffer from mental illness at some point in their lives. For young people, the startling statistic is one in five.

St. Patrick’s is Ireland’s largest independent provider of mental health services. It is a not-for-profit organisation which uses the monies raised through the Foundation to provide facilities and services for the assessment, treatment and aftercare of people experiencing mental illness.

    The SUPPORT ORGANISATION FOR TRISOMY (S.O.F.T.) was founded in Ireland in 1991 as a voluntary group dedicated to providing support for families of children born with the chromosomal disorders – Patau’s Syndrome or Trisomy l3 and Edwards’ Syndrome or Trisomy 18.

    One in four of all pregnancies ends in miscarriage and a high proportion are thought to be caused by a chromosomal disorder. A high proportion of trisomy 13 and trisomy 18 pregnancies end in miscarriage within twelve weeks of conception. It is therefore quite rare for such a pregnancy to continue to full term. The incidence of trisomy 13 is about 1 in 5,000 of total births while that of trisomy 18 is about 1 in 2,500 of total births.

    Support is provided during prenatal diagnosis, during the child’s life and after the child’s passing.
    SOFT puts families in contact with one another, provides information, funds bereavement counselling, funds respite assistance, publishes the SOFT booklet Why Our Baby and a newsletter, organises conferences and arranges professional speakers, do fundraising through various events and links with S.O.F.T. organisations worldwide.

    Babies have been born with Trisomy 13 and 18 since the beginning of time, but it was only in 1960 that Dr. Patau and Dr. Edwards identified the respective features of the syndromes. Both syndromes are the result of an extra 13th or 18th chromosome respectively being present in each cell in the body. Different variants of these syndroms also exist, but are less common.

    NeriClinics is an Irish based registered charity. Our first project is to provide an accessible primary care health service to the identified community in great need in the Linda compound, Lusaka, Zambia.

    This is a compound with a population estimated between 35,000 and 40,000 though no official figure exists. It had no dedicated health clinic prior to our arrival. Up to this point patients would walk for between 5 and 20 kilometres to avail of any health care. Inevitably these health clinics were understaffed and ill-equipped to meet the demands required of them. The plight of Linda’s community was highlighted by Irish Missionaries (the Mercy Sisters) based in the compound to one of our members. A group came together from varied backgrounds united in a common goal to form a charity that would make a difference and save lives in the Linda compound. On 26th April 2008 Neri Clinics was formed and had our first meeting. We aim to provide a sustainable health service with heavy involvement of the community. With this in mind we have secured the services of the eminently qualified Zambian doctor, Dr. Patrick Chikuta and Zambian nurse Mr. Moses Chisenga.

    Significant time has been invested in developing relationships with the regional community health management teams to allow us to work in conjunction with and with the full backing of the Zambian Ministry of Health. Ties have been developed formally and informally with the local group Zukas-Linda Community Trust who will assist with developing community based care programmes as well as bringing health issues to the fore in the community

    The Irish ME Trust was established in 1989 to provide information and a counselling service to those affected with ME as well as targeting individual problems on behalf of sufferers. We aim to create awareness in the general public and the medical profession as to the plight of ME sufferers in Ireland and contribute to quality biomedical research studies.

    ME is a serious and potentially disabling chronic physical disorder, affecting up to 12,000 people in Ireland. Of that number, approximately 25% of those would be considered to be severely disabled, rendering them housebound and even bedbound and leaving the individual dependent upon carers for their everyday needs.

    ME has been formally classified by the World Health Organisation as a neurological disorder in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) since 1969, although history has shown that this classification does not suit everybody. The renaming in the US of ME to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has led to loosening of the criteria for diagnosis and inconclusive research studies.

    We believe that the best hope of achieving definitive diagnostic markers and subsequent tailored treatment protocols is for healthcare professionals and researchers to embrace the Canadian Consensus Document for ME/CFS and to strive to develop subgroups for research.

    To date there is no known specific medical diagnostic test to determine or confirm a correct diagnosis nor is there any specific treatment which works for all sufferers. It is only through quality research that progress can be achieved in these areas.
