One4all Celebrates 10 Years of Partnership with Children’s Health Foundation, with Shop4Giggles Returning 7 - 15 Sept

The Giggle Fund and play therapy services have been a lifeline for sick children and their families across Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin, Temple Street, Connolly, and Tallaght. 

Over the past decade, the One4all Shop4Giggles campaign has been at the heart of driving support for the fund dedicated to bringing joy to young patients and their families during their most challenging times. Celebrating 10 years of its partnership, the initiative returns once more this 7 September, for eight days of shopping for good!

Shop for good!  Get ready to treat yourself, while also brightening the lives of sick children. Every time you use your One4all Gift Card, regardless of how much you spend, 50c will be donated to the Giggle Fund and play therapy departments across Children’s Health Ireland hospitals and urgent care centres. This means that every purchase, big or small, contributes directly to supporting sick children and their families. Your everyday transactions can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most, helping to bring a small bit of joy to young patients facing serious illness and injury. Partner stores Curry’s, River Island and New Look will match One4all’s donation of 50c for every transaction to help boost funds further!

Children’s Health Ireland relies on the Giggle Fund and play therapy to create positive hospital experiences for sick children and their families. From using it to purchase outdoor summer play items, sending a family to the cinema, to celebrating birthdays, the Giggle Fund helps to bring smiles to patient’s faces every day. The Giggle Fund and play therapy allow these valuable moments of joy for patients. Access to such an amazing service goes a long way in creating meaningful moments for young patients and their families.

Lou Hickey, EMEA Marketing Director at One4all, said, “We are thrilled to offer our customers a simple yet impactful way to make a difference. Every time you use your One4all Gift Card, 50 cent will be donated to the Giggle Fund, ensuring that your everyday purchases help support sick children and their families. Together, we can bring smiles to those who need them most during their toughest times. We are so proud of the €300,000 you have helped us raise over the past decade and look forward to raising even more funds together this September for such an important cause. Let’s get set to shop!”

Children’s Health Foundation expressed immense gratitude for the continued contributions from the Shop4Giggles campaign, recognising the pivotal role it plays in supporting the health and happiness of countless children.

Nessa O'Reilly, Head of Strategic Giving, Children's Health Foundation notes that, "These funds are vital in helping the Foundation fulfil its mission of providing exceptional care, support, and resources to young patients. We are deeply grateful to One4all, and everyone involved in the Shop4Giggles campaign for their commitment to making a meaningful difference to the lives of sick children. All funds will go towards the Giggle Fund and play therapy, helping to bring moments of joy to sick children through toys, parties and much more. The impact of this campaign will be long-lasting, helping us in our efforts to provide the best care and experience to children in hospital. We can't express how grateful we are for the light, comfort, fun, and developmental support our patients can receive because of the Giggle Fund and are so thankful to One4all for their continued support with the Shop4Giggles initiative.”

As the Shop4Giggles campaign marks this significant milestone, it remains a cornerstone of One4all’s corporate social responsibility efforts. Through its unwavering support of the Giggle Fund and Children’s Health Foundation, One4all continues to demonstrate its deep commitment to the well-being of young patients and their families, especially during the most trying times.
