We have been overwhelmed by the response from young people across Ireland to “Write up my Street”.  With over 3,000 entries received the length and breadth of Ireland, we know that community spirit is very much alive and well! We have been privileged to read the thousands of great stories submitted to the competition.   

The judging is now complete and the 30 shortlisted stories are currently being compiled into our book which will go on sale in-store 14th September 2009. 

Please support communities throughout Ireland by purchasing a copy of our book.  In doing so, you are supporting children throughout Ireland through the Barnardos After Schools programme, helping Barnardos build stronger communities around those that need it most.
