Last Saturday, July 5th families from all over Ireland gathered at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin for the annual Jack and Jill Family Fun Day.

As always it was another joyful celebration of community, connection and fun. The theme this year was Minions, and the grounds were a sea of blue and yellow, with little Minions, Gru lookalikes and other favourite characters bringing smiles wherever they went.

From bouncy castles and a magic show to face painting beaded jewellery-making and nail art; there was something for everyone! Families explored giant army tanks, met the magnificent horses of the Mounted Gardaí and danced the day away thanks to our brilliant DJ and the lively Dublin Ukulele Band.

With delicious pizza supplied by Apache Pizza, ice cream galore and sunshine all around, it truly was a day to remember.

Huge thanks to our incredible corporate volunteers from JP Morgan and Carne Group, and to every Jack and Jill family who came along to share in the fun in the sun – what a magic day!
