Jigsaw announces new partners

Friday, 31 January 2020

We have been chosen as the exclusive partner of Entertainment Enterprises Group and their brands including Starbucks, TGI Fridays, Hard Rock Café, Dante’s Pizza, Mao and Leisureplex for the next three months.

The partnership kicks off today, Saturday 1 February and will run up to Thursday 30 April 2020. This exciting new partnership will involve a range of fundraising and awareness activities across all these fantastic outlets. Customers in each location will notice a Jigsaw counter top collection unit at the till giving them the opportunity to donate throughout the partnership.

Upcoming initiatives

On the first day of February, March and April 10c from each cup of coffee sold in Starbucks will be donated to Jigsaw.

In Leisureplex, all party bookings throughout the campaign will be given the opportunity to add €2 onto their bill to be donated to Jigsaw.

On Saturday 29 February, a huge donation drive for Jigsaw will take place across all of the outlets, where all customers will be asked if they want to add a donation to their bill. On top of all of this amazing fundraising activity there will also be a range of awareness campaigns to inform and educate customers on the work of Jigsaw supporting young people’s mental health.

Speaking about the partnership, Justin McDermott, Fundraising Manager said, “We are so genuinely excited about this opportunity to communicate to so many people and communities via these incredible brands. I have no doubt that we will not only have a very successful partnership in terms of raising vital funds to support our programmes, but it will also give us such a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of young people’s mental health, and what we can all do to support the young people in our lives’. Celine Gilmer, Group Marketing Manager of Enterprise Entertainment Group said “We are delighted to announce our charity partnership with Jigsaw, the national centre for Youth Mental Health. Jigsaw is a strong, progressive force in the fight against mental health problems for young people in Ireland. We are excited to support Jigsaw in their mission to ensure that the youth of Ireland have an easily-accessible support structure for their fight against mental health issues.”
