Another unforgettable summer camp has come to an end! 💙
This year’s annual Candle of Grace Summer Camp was proudly hosted at The Strand, Dugort, Achill Island, where our young people enjoyed an incredible week surrounded by the beauty of Achill’s coastline.

We are especially grateful to The Strand for giving our participants the opportunity to experience nature, and for providing valuable hands-on work experience in hospitality, including waiter and waitress duties. Experiences like these help build confidence, develop practical skills, and create lasting memories.

A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers who ensured comfort and safeguarding of the teens and made this year’s camp such a success. We can’t wait for next year! ☀️🌊

Yesterday, 1 June 2026, a group of our volunteers completed the packaging of our latest humanitarian aid shipment, which will be departing in the coming weeks for affected areas of Ukraine. 🇺🇦

A huge thank you to everyone who donated items, volunteered their time, and helped prepare this shipment. Your generosity and dedication make our work possible, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued support.❤️💚

As this aid collection has now been completed, we are temporarily pausing the acceptance of item donations. This is because we are preparing our centre for our annual Summer Camp Programme for children, which will take place in mid-July 2026. Once the camp has concluded, we look forward to resuming the collection of humanitarian aid items and continuing our support for those affected by the war in Ukraine.

While item donations are on hold, any monetary donations to help cover transportation and delivery costs for this shipment are greatly appreciated and can be made through our website.

More information about our Summer Camp Programme will be shared soon! In the meantime, if you have any questions or would like to get involved, please feel free to contact us by email.

Thank you for helping us make a difference. Together, we continue to support those who need it most. 🫂

Apologies for the late notice — and for our long absence here. As we reconnect, we do so at an important time: one week before the tragic anniversary that changed millions of lives across Eastern Europe.

At Candle of Grace, we are children of Chernobyl who experienced the tragedy of April 1986 and received support from around the world. Each year, we come together to share our stories and honour those we have lost.

Our annual Chernobyl Day Art Competition shows that across generations, the emotions remain the same grief, pain, and hope. Through their artwork, young talents express this powerful history, and we deeply value every piece.
