One of the highlights of the year for Team Jack and Jill is our Family Fun Day, which took place last Saturday, 27th May in Palmerstown House Estate in Naas.
Check out the gallery below to see some images from what was an absolutely amazing day!
Family Fun Day is all about community, about families who navigate uphill challenges every day coming together to meet one another, to establish relationships and most importantly, to have some fun!
It’s also important that siblings of Jack and Jill children see that there are other families who have similar challenges, and for it to feel ‘normal’.
On Saturday, the grounds of Palmerstown House in Naas were transformed and thronging with pirates and princesses as our staff, volunteers, extra-special Jack and Jill children, their fabulous siblings, parents, and grandparents from all over the country descended on the venue and dressed to impress!
There were sensory rooms, face painters, rides, bouncy castles, entertainment and attractions to suit all ages and abilities. Parents had the opportunity to chat and build friendships over tea and coffee while the children had fun playing in the glorious sunshine.
Our pioneering founder Jonathan Irwin also joined us for the happy occasion and had the chance to meet many families that the Foundation has gone on to the support over the last 26 years – the lasting legacy of his little boy Jack Irwin.
Enjoy perusing the photos and a huge thank you to all of our families, staff, volunteers, supporters and suppliers who made the Jack and Jill Family Fun Day 2023 such a huge success!
