The Jack and Jill Children's Foundation has opened a new charity boutique at 44/45 Dublin Street Monaghan. The boutique is selling a fantastic selection of pre-loved clothes, accessories, toys, books, LEGO and household items. Additionally, much-needed funds are raised to help support 3 children currently under Jack and Jill's care across Co Monaghan.
