How You Can Help

Unlock the potential of your workforce to drive positive change with the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. Whether it’s hosting a single event or a series of staff engagement activities throughout the year, we’re here to support your team’s efforts to have fun and make a significant impact on the lives of children in your community need. We’re eager to collaborate on bespoke activities tailored to your team’s interests or invite you to participate in our established annual campaigns, including:

• Abseil Challenge: For the thrill-seekers in your team, join our exhilarating Abseil Challenges in Dublin or Limerick. It’s an unforgettable way to rally your employees and raise funds. Learn More
• Organise an “Up The Hill” Event: Challenge your employees to come together for a physical endeavour with our “Up The Hill” event. Whether it’s climbing a local hill or mountain, or even completing laps around the building, it’s a fantastic opportunity to promote fitness, teamwork, and determination, all while supporting a great cause.

• Host a Spring Clean Day: Across Ireland, our network of 16 charity boutiques offer a wide range of pre-loved (and occasionally new) items, including clothing, accessories, toys, books, LEGO, and household goods, all generously donated to us. Many corporate partners participate in Spring Clean initiatives, encouraging employees to donate items they no longer need over a specified day or week. We warmly welcome high-quality pre-loved items for resale in our shops. It’s a great way to declutter, promote sustainability and give back at the same time.
• Lego Drive: Given our stores feature a selection of pre-loved Lego, we’ve organised Lego Team Building activities with our corporate partners. During these events, employees gather Lego and engage in friendly competition to construct various structures, often inspired by iconic Dublin landmarks. These contests not only foster team spirit but also allow us to repurpose the Lego for resale in our stores, blending team building with a purposeful outcome.
• Teddy Bear’s Picnic: Every June, the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation launches our heartwarming Teddy Bears Picnic Campaign, inviting schools and crèches to host their own teddy bear picnics. This initiative has also been warmly embraced by our corporate partners, transforming into enchanting family days where employees are encouraged to bring their children and teddy bears for a celebration. Some corporates have creatively adapted the campaign, organising teddy bears picnics just for staff, featuring an array of food, sweet treats, and engaging activities. A standout feature has been the Teddy making workshops where employees craft and personalise teddy bears, which are then lovingly donated to the families we support. In a playful twist, one memorable event had staff bring in photos of their own teddy bears for a “Match the Teddy to the Owner” game.
• Marathons/Challenges: At Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, we’re always inspired by individuals who push their limits for a good cause. If any members of your staff are planning to participate in marathons, challenges, or any endurance events, we’d be honoured if they chose to do so in aid of Jack and Jill. To support their incredible efforts, we’re here to provide everything they need to fundraise effectively, including personalised fundraising links and Jack and Jill branded T-shirts to wear with pride on the day of the event. It’s a fantastic way to combine personal achievement with making a meaningful difference in the lives of the families we support.
