Working Life: One hour of in-home support makes a massive difference to a family
Michaella McMahon, fundraising manager, Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
“I had been working in sales and marketing for an engineering company, but I was on the lookout for something more meaningful. I love kids and a children’s charity seemed like a good fit. I started with the Jack and Jill Foundation two years ago. It meant a move from Millstreet in Co Cork to Kildare. I’m loving the role so far.
“As fundraising manager, I am constantly organising campaigns. Probably our most popular and successful is the Incognito art sale. We have a big anniversary this year — it’s our 10th year, and the campaign has raised €1.4m so far.
