The Taxback Group makes a donation to Jack & Jill

23 April 2015

We’re proud to have the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation as one of our charity partners. The work that they do every day is nothing short of amazing.

We first became aware of the work Jack and Jill does when one of our colleagues had a little girl that was born with serious complications. She described the moment that she was introduced to the charity as ‘the only lifeline extended to us when our world was turned upside down in an instant.’

The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation provides home respite care for families of children with brain damage up to the age of 4 who have suffered severe intellectual and physical developmental delay. The charity also provides palliative care for children.

Helping children is a fundamental part of our corporate social responsibility programme. We were delighted to present Nurse Joanne from Jack & Jill with a cheque for €10,000 this month. This amount will provide 625 hours of nursing for children in need. If you’d like to make a donation to Jack & Jill or find out more about what they do, click here.
