Pull a Christmas Cracker for Parkinson’s

Join our festive fundraiser and make a difference this Christmas

This Christmas, Parkinson’s Ireland is inviting individuals, communities and workplaces across the country to take part in our new festive fundraising initiative, Pull a Christmas Cracker for Parkinson’s.

This simple and enjoyable idea is designed to bring people together during the festive season while raising vital funds for services that support people living with Parkinson’s. Whether you host a coffee morning at home, plan a small get together in your workplace or organise a community event, your participation will help us continue delivering essential support to thousands of families throughout Ireland.

How the fundraiser works

The concept could not be easier. You gather friends, family, colleagues or community members, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, pull a few Christmas crackers and invite attendees to make a small donation to Parkinson’s Ireland. It is a warm and inclusive way to celebrate the season and no large event planning is required.

To make the process even simpler, we provide a free Pull a Christmas Cracker Party Pack to everyone who signs up. The pack includes
• Parkinson’s Ireland Christmas Crackers
• Posters to help you promote your event
• Fundraising tips, ideas and guidance

We will post the pack directly to you once we receive your preferred delivery address.

Participants are also welcome to set up an online fundraising page, which is especially useful for friends or colleagues who may wish to support your efforts but cannot attend in person. You can create your online page via iDonate.

A perfect opportunity for Corporate Social Responsibility

We warmly encourage businesses across Ireland to get involved. Pull a Christmas Cracker for Parkinson’s provides a meaningful and enjoyable way for teams to come together, boost morale and support a national registered charity. It is a simple way to contribute to your Corporate Social Responsibility commitments while creating a festive moment for staff.

Helping us reach those who need us

Parkinson’s Ireland will be promoting this initiative through social media and our national newsletter. We also greatly appreciate the support of our branch networks in sharing the message at local level. By spreading the word, you help us reach members, supporters and new participants who may have been hoping to fundraise but did not know where to start.

Get involved today

If you would like to take part, or if your workplace or community group would be interested, please email fundraising@parkinsons.ie. We will send your free Party Pack and help you get started.

Together, we can bring joy, connection and support to people living with Parkinson’s this Christmas. Thank you for helping us make a real difference.
