The CARI Foundation
is a registered charity founded in 1989.
Their primary aim is to provide a
professional, child centred therapy and
counselling service to children,
families, and groups who have been
affected by child sexual abuse.
Alongside this they aim to provide the
most up to date education and
information service for children, adults
and professionals on the dynamics of
child sexual abuse, and, moreover, to
raise public and political awareness of
these issues. As a non-governmental
organisation they operate on a
not-for-profit basis ensuring that their
services are accessible, regardless of a
client's means or situation.

HOW CAN YOU HELP
CARI
"CARI depends on continuing public
support to ensure that our vital work
with children and families can continue
and grow. A main therapy centre like
those in Limerick and Dublin can cost up
to £300,000 per annum, the majority of
which must come from sources outside
CARI.
We also rely on volunteer assistance and
active fundraising to allow us to
continue to provide a wide range of
services for those who need them."
