Congratulations Aoife, we're looking forward to hear you play on a stage near us soon!

Rosie & Jim were delighted to donate €300 to Barry's 2 Year Beardathon!
Well done to Barry for riasing over €14,000 for Family Carers Ireland and The Alzheimer Society of Ireland.
Our Family Fun Day took place in August again this year – a day for all our families to come together and celebrate in LauraLynn. It is one of the most special days here in our children’s hospice.
This year our theme was Superheroes and Princesses, with some amazing costumes on the day from kids and adults alike!
After the overwhelming success of this event last year, Rosie & Jim generously sponsored this event for us again, ensuring we could make this fabulous day possible for all our families.
We're delighted to sponsor Andrew Wallace €150 for his charity race to raise awareness for Amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a rare disease that occurs when a substance called amyloid builds up in your organs. Amyloid is an abnormal protein that is produced in your bone marrow and can be deposited in any tissue or organ.
Well done to Andrew who is on track to fundraise his aim of €5000.
*UPDATED August 2019*
Andrew not only made his target he completely shattered it! Making a huge €21,000 himself, then a charity benefactor matched his donation, so that has now been turned into a whopping €42,000!! Fantastic News - well done Andrew!

Rosie & Jim are humbled to donate €2500 to the The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Ireland Annual Appeal.
For almost two centuries now, caring souls like you have been at the heart of a proud SVP tradition of giving to people facing great hardship at Christmas. Amy’s family are really struggling. Her father lost his small business last year and he’s trying to keep everything together. But he can’t keep up with all the bills. As prices continue increasing, he just can’t afford food and fuel. Some days he has to choose between feeding his children or keeping them warm. That is unless Amy’s father picks up the phone to SVP… and you are there to answer. Your donation today will help families like Amy’s with basics such as food and fuel. You could give them some breathing space to pay their bills and keep their home warm. You can make sure they don’t have to skip meals. You can reach out your hand to a neighbour in need. You could save a family from impossible choices this Christmas. So please, if you can, support our Annual Appeal and make a special Christmas gift to SVP today. Thank you for helping families in need in your local community.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Carolyn McCarthy and Kate Danaher
