On Wednesday night, at Dublin’s Mansion House, Team Jack and Jill were thrilled to win Finance Team of the Year at the Charity Excellence Awards.
This prestigious accolade from the Charities Institute recognises outstanding financial leadership demonstrated by a finance team within a charity.
The award citation commended the Jack and Jill Finance team for exemplifying “dedication, innovation, and impactful leadership” and for their “unwavering commitment to changing the lives of hundreds of families.”
Jack and Jill CEO Carmel Doyle said:
“As a charity with a €6.8m annual budget and a mission to support and empower over 400 families to care for their child at home, by funding and delivering home nursing care hours, we must always show where the money goes and how the donation makes a real impact. At Jack and Jill we take that responsibility very seriously by demonstrating transparency, ethical fundraising and good governance in practice. I couldn’t be prouder of our brilliant fundraising team, and it is great to see their efforts acknowledged through this award.”
Earlier this year, Jack and Jill was one of 119 registered charities to secure Triple Lock Status from the Charities Institute, which is awarded to charities that uphold the highest standards in transparent reporting, ethical fundraising and strong governance structures.
This recognition is the gold standard for Irish charities and offers assurances to donors, stakeholders, members and the general public, against the backdrop of a very crowded sector, with 11,500 registered charities in Ireland in 2023.
