JOIN THE LITTLE ONES
APPEAL 2026

This November and December, your restaurant, café, coffee shop or hotel can make a real difference to families in your community by taking part in the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation Little Ones Appeal.

The Little Ones Appeal

As the Restaurant Association of Ireland’s Charity of Choice for 2026, we’re inviting hospitality businesses across Ireland to join together in one simple campaign with an extraordinary impact. 

By asking customers to make a voluntary €1 donation with their bill, you’ll help fund vital in-home nursing and respite care for children with severe learning disability often associated with complex medical needs, giving families the precious gift of time.

Change Lives

Every euro raised helps Jack and Jill provide specialist in-home nursing and respite care, allowing parents time to rest, care for siblings, attend appointments or simply enjoy everyday family moments.

The Difference Your €1 Makes

Small donations make a life-changing impact.

Every contribution helps Jack and Jill deliver essential care in the comfort of a family’s own home, reducing pressure on parents and helping children receive the care they need where they feel safest.

Together, the hospitality industry can give hundreds of families the gift of time this Christmas.

Proudly Partnering with the Restaurant Association of Ireland

Whether you’re an independent café, family-run restaurant, hotel or national hospitality group, your participation can make a lasting difference.
