LMFM By Caitriona Rooney Little Blue Heroes Foundation’s vision is to financial support families of children with serious illnesses in Ireland while empowering the lives of the children through positive community engagement with An Garda Síochána. Little Blue Heroes Foundation is a not-for-profit charity operated entirely by volunteers (no paid staff) made up of Garda members/staff, retired Garda members, their families, friends and civic minded people from communities. It aims to help families in need from local communities in Ireland who have children undergoing long-term medical treatment for serious illness. The name ‘Little Blue Heroes’ came about when we found that the vast amount of the children we support have a strong fascination with police uniform, equipment, vehicles, Garda units, etc..
