“Jack and Jill has given us so much – not just practical support, but hope, friendship and a community,”
“Jack and Jill support really is a holistic approach that provides care for the whole family,”
“It wasn’t just about getting a break, it was about finding balance, regaining energy, and being the best mum, I could be to both my boys,”
“Without Jack and Jill, I wouldn’t get any time to myself. It’s a lifeline. Sleep is a luxury. Simple things like having a shower can be really challenging when you have a child who requires 24/7 care, so this support is vital,”
“You can focus on being Mum, instead of being a nurse, a doctor, one of the therapists – you just get to be Mum to your child,”
“It gives us that breathing space – to spend time with the other children – it just fills that glass back up again,”
“It is just brilliant to know he is in very good hands, I never have to worry when I know he is with his nurse. It gives us the time we need to spend with his brother or take time for ourselves. Jack and Jill are an invaluable support to us,”
“We are really grateful for the support Jack and Jill gives us; it gives you back time with peace of mind that he is being looked after really well by experts.”
“Just to give us that little moment to get ourselves back at strength, to have a cup of tea together while someone says, ‘I’ve got this!’”
