**Vodafone Ireland Foundation has pledged €500,000 in a new relationship with two
charities working with children and families. Vodafone’s support will ensure new
aftercare service for young people in care and more Happy Days for children growing
up in lone parent families**

The two charities are the Irish Association of Young People In Care, IAYPIC, and
OPEN who work with lone parent families throughout the country. In an innovative
approach the Foundation plans to work alongside these organisations on projects 
aimed at improving the lives of children, young people and their families in Ireland.

In addition, where appropriate, the Foundation can provide strategic advice, support
for personnel, marketing, public relations or other assistance. This support will
add significant value to the grants of almost €250,000 which the Foundation will
make available to each organisation over the next two years.

Jan Mottram, Chairperson of the Foundation said Vodafone Ireland Foundation is aware
that there are many other organisations carrying out effective interventions improving
the lives of children and young people and we look forward to working with them 
in the future. Following a strategic review, Vodafone Ireland Foundation will now
concentrate its effort on supporting young people and children facing adversity 
in their lives. VIF have **over €1,000,000** funding available in 2007 to assist
programmes or projects targeting young people, children and their families.
