Ryanair, Europe's no. 1 airline has today (23 March) donated €15,000 to its longstanding charity partner, Naomi House & Jacksplace to support the charity's work with life limited and life threatened children and young adults, as well as with their families. Ryanair has been proudly working with Naomi House & Jacksplace through its scratch card programme since 2013, and with the support of its generous customers, has raised over €315,000 for the charity to date.

Ryanair's scratch card programme has proven popular among its UK customers over the years, giving passengers the chance to win amazing prizes including luxury cars and cash prizes as well as a chance to scoop €1M in Ryanair's annual 'Win a Mill' event held at the airline's HQ in Dublin, Ireland.

Having first launched its charity scratch card programme in 2009, Ryanair has raised a grand total of €1.6m for charities throughout Europe to date.

Ryanair's Director of Marketing, Digital and Comms, Dara Brady, said:

"It is a great honour to be presenting Naomi House & Jacksplace with this €15,000 donation, which represents the contributions of our generous customers both here in the UK and across Europe throughout the past year.

Having partnered with Naomi House & Jacksplace since 2013, and having raised over €315,000 throughout that time, we have a strong connection to this charity and our crews are hugely passionate about supporting the incredible work that they carry out in the UK.

Through our scratch card programme, Ryanair has contributed over €1.6m to charities across Europe and we want to say a special thank you to all our customers who purchased a charity scratch card on board a Ryanair flight, helping both Naomi House & Jacksplace and a range of other deserving charities across Europe. We look forward to continuing our scratch card programme and supporting even more charities throughout 2022 and beyond."

Commenting on the donation and what it means for the charity, Paul Morgan, Director of Fundraising & Communications, Naomi House & Jacksplace said:

"The support we have received from Ryanair, from both their staff and passengers, is a source of inspiration and significant funds for Naomi House & Jacksplace. Indeed, the size and frequency of their support now makes Ryanair Scratch Cards our single largest ongoing corporate supporter.

Ryanair's generous donations support our hospices and help us to be there for life limited and life threatened children and young adults who have complex health care needs. The support through the scratch card programme also helps us to create precious memories for the families who come to Naomi House & Jacksplace for help, care and support.

We look forward to continuing this positive relationship, that helps so many of our families access our expert care when they need it most."
