Executive Connections have a strong history of giving back and so are delighted to announce our partnership with LauraLynn Ireland’s Children’s Hospice for 2016.
The LauraLynn Children’s Hospice Foundation was set up in 2001 by Jane and Brendan McKenna after their daughters, Laura four and 13-year-old Lynn, died within two years of each other. Their dream was to establish Ireland’s first children’s hospice, dedicated to the memory of their daughters, and they worked tirelessly raising funds to do this. In 2006 they merged with the Children’s Sunshine Home Hospice Project, and finally, in 2011, their dream was fulfilled with the opening of Laura Lynn House in 2011.
Staff members Fiona O’Sullivan and Owen McSweeney recently visited the LauraLynn House. Seeing first-hand the wonderful work this charity does with no direct government funding, we are eager to contribute to their fundraising efforts. Speaking after the visit Owen said:
“LauraLynn do amazing work with the children and families they work with. From the moment you walk in the door of LauraLynn house, you get an overwhelming feeling of how important a place it is to those who avail of their services. Through a number of initiatives throughout the year Executive Connections will be committed to contributing to this worthwhile charity and helping in any way we can.”
Already our staff members are coming together to come with fun, meaningful ways to make our partnership with this wonderful charity a success. Watch this space!
