Jenx announces new partnership with Paces
Sheffield-headquartered postural support specialist, Jenx, has announced a new year-long partnership with High Green-based Paces, a specialist school for conductive education. Jenx – alongside its UK distribution division, Jiraffe – will work with the
school across fundraising activities and events for the next 12 months, after the charity was selected as the company’s charity of the year for 2021. The partnership will provide Jenx staff with the opportunity to personally
support children with special needs at Paces School in High Green through volunteering activities and initiatives. Funds raised by the partnership will contribute to the £3.5m needed by
Paces for its new state-of-the-art home, a move which would enable the charity to support up to three times as many families with the hope of no longer having to turn anyone away. Paces specialises in supporting children and adults living with
neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis (MS), which affect their physical and learning ability. The partnership announcement follows a donation by Jiraffe of a specialist ‘Rifton Tricycle’ to 10-year-old Sheffield fundraising hero ‘Captain’ Tobias Weller, who was crowned Young Unsung Hero at BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2020. Tobias used his Rifton Trike to complete a 480-mile virtual bike ride which raised funds for Paces. Holly Jenkins, Jenx Director, said: “There are few more
appropriate 2021 charity partners for us as a business than Paces School. “Every day, Jenx and Jiraffe support children all over the
world who face challenges of living with conditions like Cerebral Palsy, so we’re proud to support an organisation which truly understands our vision. I’m excited to see how this partnership will enable us to complement Paces’ fundraising and awareness goals.” David Hall, Paces Corporate Fundraising Manager, added:

“We are so excited to be working in partnership with Jenx and Jiraffe as we head into 2021. The goals we have here at Paces align perfectly with theirs and we can’t wait to welcome them onto our journey. We would like to thank the whole team for choosing to support us.”
