We are a brand new, Irish foundation dedicated to improving the mental-health of young people.



Helping with Hope



The primary goal of JC Foundation is to provide 365 therapy sessions each year to young adults who simply cannot afford it themselves.



The provision of these 365 free sessions is made possible by our community partners, The Ink Factory & PIERCED.ie.

Event Fundraiser
Due to COVID-19 The Ink Factory’s annual suicide prevention drive has been postponed. We will be announcing details of the rescheduled event very soon.
On the day, our team of tattoo artists will tattoo the words “I am” in return for a minimum €50.00 donation to the newly established JC Foundation. Every cent raised on the day will go towards the Foundation’s core mission of delivering 365 therapy sessions each year for those most in need.
The “I am” tattoo is an affirmation selected to remind us that we are good enough, strong enough and worthy enough to overcome our obstacles and struggles. We dedicate the work of the Foundation to the memory of John Connolly.
JC Foundation, helping with hope.

Dedication
JC Foundation was established in response to the tragic loss of John Connolly (founder of The Ink Factory) at the age of 33. The Foundation is dedicated to increasing awareness of mental-health issues in young adults and tackling the stigma around reaching out for help.
