Coral Leisure Longford supporting the Jack and Jill Children's Foundation

Coral Leisure has announced that their charity partner for 2026 is the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.

Jack and Jill is a nationwide charity that provides essential in-home nursing care and respite support to families caring for children up to the age of seven with severe learning disabilities and complex medical needs. Their services give exhausted parents much-needed support, including end-of-life care, with no waiting lists, means tests, or red tape. Since 1997, Jack and Jill has supported over 3,200 families across Ireland, including 464 families currently receiving care.

Coral Leisure Longford along with other members of the Coral group will be taking part in many of Jack and Jill's national fundraising campaigns. In county Longford three families are currently availing of their services.

David Moore, Coral Leisure Operations Director, said, “Having met the Jack & Jill team, as well as some of the families they’ve helped along the way, it was an easy decision for Coral Leisure to make Jack & Jill our Charity Partner for 2026. Our loyal members are always up for a challenge, and we know how supportive they have been of worthy causes in the past, so we’re excited about what the future holds as we embark on this new partnership.”
