BUMBLEance is the difference that transforms a sick child’s journey. We exist to empower the hundreds of families unable to access their child’s medical care by providing nationwide medical transfers in a safe, caring and fun environment, completely free of charge. The difference we create is that we turn miles into smiles, allowing sick children to be children. BUMBLEance provides lifechanging jo

urneys, allowing access to lifesaving care for hundreds of children each year. Last year, we looked after the journey and allowed parents to take a back seat 2,000 times. Our specially-designed interiors that offer entertainment, activities, environmental support and emotional comfort, enabled us to transform over half a million kilometres of journeys, reaching every county in Ireland. At BUMBLEance, our heroes wear seatbelts – not capes. Our dedicated drivers operate a fleet stationed across the country, ensuring personalised, localised support to each family that travels with us. Each vehicle offers a break from the outside world with sensory lighting, child-friendly decor, entertainment and seats for parents and siblings. By offering these door-to-door journeys free of charge, we reduce the worry and anxiety parents carry. With BUMBLEance, we support the whole family and take away the worries of parking, tolls and comfort, letting parents focus on what they do best: care for their child. Children deserve the best, and there is no better than BUMBLEance.

Last week Imogen travelled with BUMBLEance!

Imogen and her Mam joined Driver Ray onboard from Wexford to Temple Street and home again 💛

Imogen’s Mam shared, “Your service to us took the stress out of the trip completely, for both of us. Immy was delighted when she saw the bright and beautiful interior of the BUMBLEance! She loved being able to lie down comfortably all the way, and thoroughly enjoyed watching her favourite Peppa Pig episodes on Netflix there and back! It was a huge help that we could bring Immy's wheelchair along too. Ray was so kind and helpful to us throughout”.

Check out Harry’s recent trip with BUMBLEance!

Harry had an amazing time onboard with Driver Jimmy - and yes, the rumours are true…

Driver Jimmy is officially out of retirement (again) and back doing what he does best with BUMBLEance one day a week 🚑

At BUMBLEance, our heroes wear seatbelts – not capes. Our dedicated drivers operate a fleet stationed across the country, offering personal, local support to each child that travels with us.

In May, the BUMBLEance fleet travelled farther than the distance from Ireland to New Zealand and back again 🐝

But, our vehicles weren't flying to the Southern Hemisphere... Instead, our drivers were travelling across Ireland, transporting children to and from vital healthcare appointments.

May saw our highest monthly distance travelled since November 2024. However, despite this, due to high demand 36 very important trips still went unfulfilled.

By contributing as little as a few euro each month, you can help us reduce the number of unfulfilled trips, by ensuring we have sustainable recurring support that we can count on month after month.

Our dedicated BUMBLEance crafters have been hard at work the past couple of months 🧶

We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who dedicates their time and talent to supporting our young service users 💛

We have received beautiful blankets, buzzing bumblebees, cuddly teddies, and cute hats and scarves - all of which will help our service users feel cosy and comfortable while travelling with us, while also reminding them that there is a whole community of people thinking of them.

Extra special shoutout to Pauline and Alice, the ladies at the Kilcross Resource Centre, Knots Knitting Club, and The Newcastle Arts and Crafts group for their incredible support!

Shaye and Rainbow were back onboard last week 🌈🚑

The pair were up bright and early, joined by Shaye's mam, to travel to his appointment. After a long day, Shaye slept the whole way home.

Each of our vehicles offers children a break from the outside world with sensory lighting, child-friendly décor, entertainment and space for parents and siblings, or cuddly toys!

Thank you to the Tullineaskey Charity Show for raising an amazing €9,500 for BUMBLEance! 💛

We are so honoured to have been chosen as a charity partner alongside our friends at Cancer Connect Cork.

Well done to everyone who entered, a massive thank you to all those who came out to support and donate, and an extra special thank you to service user Clayton for helping Driver Donal with the cheque presentation last week!

We have been blown away by the incredible support from our community so far in 2026 - but our work is far from done. Our services receive no government funding, so fundraisers like this truly help to keep our fleet moving across the country.

Get involved and support BUMBLEance this summer, visit our (new) website, at www.BUMBLEance.com to get started!
