Ryanair’s Head of Retail Aoife Greene said:
“Ryanair is delighted to support Naomi House and Jacksplace, which does so much to help children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, and their families. Over the past four years we have seen first-hand the incredible work that they do, and are delighted to partner with them again as one of our preferred charities for 2018. The hospice is one of many charities across Europe to receive ongoing donations from Ryanair’s scratchcards, where customers can win some fantastic prizes while helping out many great causes.”
Naomi House & Jacksplace Head of Fundraising Paul Morgan said:
“Ryanair have supported us for some years but the enormity of this most recent donation really came out of the blue. Everyone at the hospices are talking about it and we are extremely grateful to Ryanair for this serious boost to our fundraising efforts and ability to offer care on good days, difficult days and last days.”
