Congratulations again to Fiona Staunton and her nominated charity Aoibheann's Pink Tie on winning €1000 donation from Rosie & Jim.

Here's Tracey delivering the HUGE cheque!

Aoibheann's Pink Tie

Aoibheann’s Pink Tie “National Children’s Cancer Charity” was set up in 2010 by Mick Rochford and Jimmy Norman after the tragic loss of Jimmy’s daughter Aoibheann to cancer aged just 8 years. During Aoibheann’s year long battle with this dreadful disease, the family found little or no financial or practical support  for children and their families.

Jimmy and his family had a large support network of friends and family but found that many on the ward had virtually no support at all.

When Aoibheann passed away the men wore pink ties at the funeral which was Aoibheann’s favourite colour. The charity was formed in her memory to remedy the lack of support for other children and their families going through treatment.

Here is Pebbles, one of the adorable Irish Guide Dogs puppies proudly sponsored by Rosie & Jim. Captured here by her puppy raiser Niamh in Sandyford, Pebbles is quickly settling into her new home and embarking on an incredible journey. At just 3 months old, Pebbles, along with her furry friends, is starting to explore the world and learn the ropes. These early months are crucial as they work with our dedicated puppy raising supervisors. They're mastering basic commands and taking their first steps in socialisation – all key skills for their future roles as guide dogs.

Every day is an adventure for Pebbles, from discovering new sights and sounds to understanding how she can one day become a life-changing companion for someone with vision impairment.

Stay tuned for more updates on Pebbles and her journey with Rosie & Jim. It's not just about training; it's about nurturing a hero!

Rosie & Jim are very pleased to sponsor training tops for St. Conleths LGFC in the Portarlington area.

The U16 team are in the B Championship Final against Ballyfin on Friday at 6.30pm!

Best of luck ladies! Hope the tops bring you as much luck as they brought the Courtwood GAA team ;-)

LauraLynn– Ireland’s Children’s Hospice are Rosie & Jim, Ballybrittas' nominated charity.

Respite care is the very heart of what they do at LauraLynn.  It is not a luxury, but a necessity for both the caregivers and the sick child. 

Caring for a seriously ill child puts immense physical and emotional strain on the whole family.  Through LauraLynn respite care, families have the opportunity to take a break, while we care for their sick child.  LauraLynn multi-disciplinary team provides children with full medical support, as well as a variety of therapies to enhance their care. 

LauraLynn are able to offer families choices, providing on-going support for as long as they choose.

Providing a nights respite to a child is an invaluable gift to the child and their whole family and Rosie & Jim have donated to support 5 overnight stays for a child.

She is very playful, so she can get distracted sometimes, but is still a very diligent little pup and a fast learner.

Juvenile Arthritis is a disease which occurs when the bodies immune system attacks itself and therefore differs to adult onset Arthritis. There is currently no known cause and no cure.

iCAN is a parent-run network providing support, information and advocating for best care for those affected by Juvenile Arthritis. iCAN is 100% volunteer based and run by parents of children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). No one takes a Salary from iCAN – 100% funds by iCAN raised go towards making things better for kids with Arthritis in Ireland!

When Mairead from iCAN got in touch to tell us about the fundraising event they were running last Saturday, we were more than happy to donate boxes of Chicken Goujons to feed the 25/30 Children involved in the Croghan Hill Challenge.

Here's a photo of Mairead with her little daughter Meghan.  Meghan who is 4 has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis since the age of 22 months.
