Lighthouse Club Summer Lunch

Our team had the pleasure of attending the Lighthouse Club Construction Industry Charity Summer Lunch on Friday in the Mansion House, Dublin. This prestigious annual event brings together over 400 industry professionals to support mental health initiatives.

PJ Hegarty is a proud supporter of the Lighthouse Club which provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families. We look forward to welcoming the MakeItVisible team to our Waterfront site this Friday.

Ronald McDonald Cooking for Families

Our team of eight volunteers participated in the RMHC Ireland Cooking for Families programme yesterday! The team rolled up their sleeves and cooked up a storm to bring some home-cooked comfort to families staying in the Ronald McDonald House in Crumlin.

Ronald McDonald House Charities support families whose children are seriously ill in hospital and the house provides accommodation and a caring and supportive environment. To sign up to the Cooking for Families programme or to donate to this worth cause, go to www.rmhc.ie

 

Charity Abseils

Team members across Ireland took part in two exhilarating charity abseils this past May. Scaling the heights Smithfield Tower in Dublin and Thomond Park in Limerick, vital funds were raised for Ronald McDonald House and the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.

Ronald McDonald House Ireland Charity Abseil

Six brave team members abseiled down the 60 meters high Smithfield Tower to raise funds and show their support for Ronald McDonald House Ireland.

All donations raised help Ronald McDonald House keep its doors open for families of seriously ill children. Well done to Noel, Daryl, Feidhlim, Michael, Robert and Dawn for taking on the abseil challenge.

 

Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation Charity Abseil

In Limerick, team members abseiled over 140ft from the top of Thomond Park to raise funds for the The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.

It was an exhilarating experience for the twenty participants, which included some of our trade partners from our Limerick Pharma project. We are very grateful to everyone on the project for supporting the team.

Thanks to the generosity of those who supported us, we were able to make a contribution of over €10,000 to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, which provides in-home nursing care and respite support for children up to the age of 6 with severe to profound cognitive delay.

“€18 provides one hour of nursing care in the home, and we hope our participation and fundraising for this event can make a difference for the children and families supported by Jack & Jill”
