A new partnership between KBC Bank and Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation will support a pilot scheme in 2016 for the charity to extend its home nursing care service to children aged 4 to 6 years old.
Under the new pilot scheme, KBC Bank has committed to matching funds raised by its 1,000 employees and 15 retail hubs across Ireland through a range of fundraising events and initiatives, including Up the Hill for Jack & Jill – a nationwide fundraising initiative taking place throughout September.
Director of Marketing & Corporate Affairs at KBC Bank Ireland, Aidan Power says, "The staff at KBC have some fantastic fundraising initiatives lined up and I would encourage people to show their support as our events get underway.
"We are looking forward to working together to make Jack & Jill’s pilot project a reality and help extend nursing care for older children and their families at home."
CEO of the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation, Jonathan Irwin added, "I want to thank everyone involved in KBC for choosing Jack & Jill as their partner charity and, for our part, we’ll work very hard to make the most of this partnership."
