Partnerships

Circle K (formerly Topaz) have been proud partners of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation for over 3 years and it has been a hugely successful partnership for us. Through the period we have managed to raise over €400,000 for our fantastic partners and the success has been driven by the enthusiasm and collaboration from both teams.

For a retail charity partnership to be successful you need a partner who can engage with all staff and at Circle K we have over 2,500 employees. Jack and Jill’s support team, Jonathan Irwin, the Jack and Jill nurses and families have been fantastic at helping us to really engage our staff in understanding the importance of the funds that they help to raise and the amazing work that the Jack and Jill Foundation do for Jack and Jill Children and their families.

Our work with Jack & Jill on the Incognito Art Initiative has been a great experience. It has been a real partnership that has not only provided a variety of staff engagement opportunities – enabling our staff to contribute their art, skills, time and money – but also the chance to help create a positive and lasting difference by raising critical funds to provide home nursing hours for Jack & Jill children and their families.

My 2 year old nephew suffers with a neurological and developmental disorder called MECP2. When my nephew was born it was a very tough time for my sister’s family and it seemed like all I could do was stand by and watch my loved ones suffer. When Jack and Jill came on board, things changed. It finally
felt like my sister and her family were receiving the help and support they needed.

I put the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation forward for a charity fundraising event in my workplace because I wanted to give something back to a charity that gives so much to my family. Since the very first moment I mentioned the fundraising event to my employer, I’ve received the full support and backing of everyone in my workplace. I’m incredibly proud and grateful to work for an organisation and with colleagues who continue to be so supportive of charity which is so close to my heart.

RenaissanceRe are proud to have supported The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation for many years.

The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation does amazing work countrywide. It is a charity that is very close to our hearts, having provided help and home nursing support for family members, friends and staff at RenaissanceRe. The Foundation is run by dedicated and passionate people who put the families they help at the centre of their work. They don’t just provide care for the children, they give families time to do simple things we often take for granted. As an organisation, Jack & Jill strives to increase its impact, and has recently increased the age that it provides assistance to children and families from 4 to 5 years old with further increases planned in the coming years.

Getting to know Jack & Jill’s work, the people involved and the material impact on families, has been an amazing experience for us all at RenaissanceRe.

Expleo have been proud to partner with The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation to raise vital funds for families across Ireland who avail of their home care services.

Our people have been extremely engaged with this partnership and we have been proud to host numerous fund raisers alongside part-taking in the events organised by the charity. They have a fantastic team who are extremely generous in terms of supporting and advising Expleo about best practice in fundraising.

The partnership has had a notable positive impact on employee morale and this led to Expleo extending this one year partnership to two years in 2019. It has been both humbling and a pleasure to partner with The Jack and Jill Children’s foundation, raise awareness of the support provided to families that avail of their services and playing a part in their success…
