The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation is a nationwide charity that funds and provides in-home nursing care and respite support for children with severe to profound cognitive delay, up to the age of 6.
Another key part of our service is end-of-life care for all children up to the age of 6, irrespective of diagnosis.
We are currently supporting 412 families in communities across Ireland
The initial blueprint and ethos of family centred care created by our founders Jonathan Irwin and his wife Mary Ann O’ Brien, continues to be the foundation for our service.
This model of care is underpinned by a Rainbow of Care showing the holistic nature of our service. Families refer to the service as ‘The Gift of Time’. Time to do the ordinary things that others often take for granted.
Ensure children and families are supported and empowered at home because there is ‘no care like home care’.
Grow and enhance Jack & Jill’s community of care across Ireland through best practice, knowledge and partnerships.
Create greater support and sustainability for children’s in-home respite and palliative care into the future.
Enhance our credibility as an organisation governed and managed in line with best practice.
