Woodie’s Heroes 2025 Raises Over €598,000 for Irish Children’s Charities – Including AADI!

We are thrilled to share that Woodie’s Heroes 2025 campaign has raised an incredible total of €598,205 for four amazing Irish children’s charities – and AADI is proud to be one of them!

We are especially grateful to the store teams, volunteers, and customers who supported AADI during the campaign – your kindness directly funds our mission to transform the lives of children with autism.

This year’s campaign marks the 11th anniversary of the Woodie’s Heroes fundraiser, bringing their total funds raised since 2015 to an astonishing €4.7 million. The 2025 fundraiser supported:

Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland

Cancer Fund for Children

Childline by ISPCC

Down Syndrome Ireland

Each charity receives 25% of the funds raised, and thanks to the generosity of Woodie’s customers and staff, this amount will help us provide more life-changing assistance dogs to children with autism across Ireland.

Store Celebrations

From north to south, stores across Ireland celebrated the campaign with heartwarming events. Here are some of our highlights:

Woodie’s Heroes has become a proud part of who we are, and together, we’ve made a real and lasting difference to the lives of those these charities support.
