THIS SEPTEMBER

SOMETHING POWERFUL IS COMING…

We’re teaming up with Today FM to launch Power Hour for Jack and Jill – a bold, nationwide campaign that will bring people, workplaces and communities across Ireland together behind one powerful idea.

€20 FUNDS ONE HOUR OF IN-HOME NURSING CARE AND RESPITE SUPPORT.

Join us, the presenters and listeners of Today FM for Power Hour for Jack and Jill.

Rally your colleagues, friends, family, school or club, choose how you will power your hour to raise vital funds in support of Jack and Jill families across Ireland.
However you power your hour, your 60 minutes can make a BIG difference.

The best Power Hours are often the ones nobody has thought of before.

Take these ideas.  Mix them together.  Add your own twist.  Or create something completely different. If it gets people talking, brings people together and helps fund more Hours of Care…  It’s a Power Hour.

POWER HOUR IDEAS

FOR MOST OF US, AN HOUR CAN PASS IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.

For a Jack and Jill family, one hour can mean the chance to sleep, spend time with a sibling, attend an appointment, share a cup of tea, or simply take a breath.

One hour that gives a family breathing space.
One hour that brings rest, relief and reassurance.
One hour that can make all the difference.

Today, Jack and Jill supports more than 520 families across Ireland, providing up to 100 hours of in-home nursing care and respite support every month to families caring for children with severe learning disabilities and complex medical needs. Our service operates seven days a week, with no waiting list, no means test and no red tape, helping families care for their child at home, where they belong.
