THE BOOK GIVES FULL DETAILS OF THE STORY BEHIND THE JACK AND JILL CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION

Read about Jonathan’s struggles to establish and maintain the Foundation and its ongoing fund-raising efforts to support 404 Families across Ireland.

As of today 3,000, Children and their Families have been support supported in all Counties of Ireland over the past 26 years.

The book also recounts and looks back on some from fantastic stories from Jonathan’s intriguing background: his involvement in the Irish horse-racing industry; he ran Goffs bloodstock sales for many years, including at the time of the kidnapping of Shergar, the early days of Ryanair with a fascinating insight into his relationship with Michael O’Leary, who had a very different vision from Jonathan as to where the company should go or the time he was also head of the Dublin Sports Council when he contributed on bringing the Tour de France to Ireland for the first time in 1997, and much more!

This is a wonderful book and a lovely tribute to Jonathan as it illustrates and shares the kindness of a wonderful Man.

Another key part of our service is end of life care for all children up to the age of 6, irrespective of diagnosis.

What our Families Say

“Jack and Jill support really is a holistic approach that provides care for the whole family,”

Jack and Jill Mum

“It wasn’t just about getting a break, it was about finding balance, regaining energy, and being the best mum, I could be to both my boys,”

Jack and Jill Mum

“Without Jack and Jill, I wouldn’t get any time to myself. It’s a lifeline. Sleep is a luxury. Simple things like having a shower can be really challenging when you have a child who requires 24/7 care, so this support is vital,”

Jack and Jill Mum
★★★★★

“You can focus on being Mum, instead of being a nurse, a doctor, one of the therapists – you just get to be Mum to your child,”

Jack and Jill Mum

“It gives us that breathing space – to spend time with the other children - it just fills that glass back up again,”

Jack and Jill Mum

“I really believe our team of Jack and Jill nurses were handpicked for our family. Their compassion and kind, caring approach is so appreciated by us, and they quickly became part of the family,”

Jack and Jill Mum

“It is just brilliant to know he is in very good hands, I never have to worry when I know he is with his nurse. It gives us the time we need to spend with his brother or take time for ourselves. Jack and Jill are an invaluable support to us,”

Jack and Jill Mum

“We are really grateful for the support Jack and Jill gives us; it gives you back time with peace of mind that he is being looked after really well by experts.”

Jack and Jill Dad

“Just to give us that little moment to get ourselves back at strength, to have a cup of tea together while someone says, ‘I’ve got this!’”

Jack and Jill Dad
