Life Pharmacy, part of the Uniphar Group, is celebrating welcoming its 100th Pharmacy in Killeagh, Co. Cork with a nationwide fundraising campaign to raise vital funds for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
As part of the Life100 campaign, Life Pharmacy teams from all corners of the country will participate in sponsored activities within their local communities, from now until the end of August with the aim of raising the equivalent of 10,000 hours of support for Jack and Jill families all over Ireland.
Life Pharmacy is calling on its loyal customers and community members to show their support by making a donation to their local Life Pharmacy either in store or online, which will directly contribute to the essential services provided by the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. With each pharmacy running their own fundraising initiative, customers can look forward to everything from coffee mornings, spinathons, raffles and much more!
Speaking about the campaign, Mairead Reen, Chairperson, Life Pharmacy, said, “We are delighted to welcome our 100th Life Pharmacy with a campaign that involves our entire store network as well as our customers.
Through the support of our local Life Pharmacy teams and generous donations from the public, we have the opportunity to give the gift of time to families supported by the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. This campaign is not just about celebrating our growth, but also about making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.”

Deirdre Walsh, CEO of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation said: “This is a remarkable community fundraising initiative to celebrate Life Pharmacy reaching this significant milestone of 100 member pharmacies across Ireland. Like Life Pharmacy, we are all about family and community, and with 416 families currently under our care across the country, the ambition of raising 100 hours of in-home nursing and respite care hours across each of the 100 pharmacies is substantial.
10,000 hours of care would make a truly meaningful difference in the lives of the families under our care for whom Jack and Jill is a lifeline. We would like to extend our gratitude to our friends at Life Pharmacy for this amazing support and are looking forward to seeing the community fundraising spirit kick into action throughout August, in support of local families.”
