Bohemian Football Club is calling on fans to donate towards children in the direct provision system this Christmas.
The club has joined forces with the Movement of Asylum Seekers Ireland (MASI) and Bang Bang Cafe in Phibsboro to assist children in need. The appeal is accepting both online donations via their GoFundMe page and gifts, which can be dropped in to the cafe.
Bohemian FC’s chief operating officer Daniel Lambert said the charitable appeal began about five years ago but has expanded over the years due to popular demand. He wrote that the initiative began to assist those within the direct provision system, which he described as “inhumane” and “degrading.”
