Rosie & Jim were delighted to sponsor €2000 for the recent Courtwood GAA Raffle Fundraiser.

Congratulations to Pam Trimble from Portarlington who won the fantastic prize!

Happy spending Pam!

LauraLynn’s Family Bereavement Programme provides both formal and informal help and support to all children and families who are accessing our service. Many parents wonder how they will carry on after the death of their child. Every family’s experience is different and it can be a roller coaster of emotions.

Thanks to the support of Rosie & Jim, our bereavement team are developing the programme this year with some new and enhanced services, including Family Bereavement Days, Pamper Morning for mothers, ‘Memory Walks’ for fathers, an Annual Memorial Service and a new LauraLynn Book of Remembrance.

Rosie & Jim are pleased to share they donated 400kg of Breaded Chicken Products to Bluebell Food Bank in June.

Our mission is to act as a catalyst for social change, based on the identified needs of the Bluebell Community, with an anti-poverty and social-inclusion focus. Bluebell C.D.P. is a non-profit organisation. We are currently in the process of applying for charitable status.

Rosie & Jim are delighted to have paid off the Vets bills of €150 for these little cats who have been rescued by Anabatic Lodge Cat Sanctuary. Well done to everyone at the Cat Sanctuary for the amazing job they do, and thanks to Barbara for letting us know about their plight!

"Thank You  We would like to thank a supporter of Anabatic Lodge, Barbara, for thinking outside of the box and asking a reputable company to help us out a little. Rosie & Jim, based in Dublin, have kindly come on board as sponsors for our recent arrivals...Rosie & Jim! Their vet bill was paid in full yesterday and we are so grateful! Thank you so so much! "

Rosie and Jim are happy to announce that we are going to donate boxes of our Chicken Products every week to the Ronald McDonal House Charities.

Here's a pic and a post of their chef cooking them up last Friday.

"Thank you to our amazing Friday volunteer Chef Sean Mahon who has just cooked up some delicious chicken goujons which were very generously supplied by Rosie & Jim's poultry product range"

Ronald McDonald House Charities

The Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation care and support for 20 families every night while their seriously ill children are inpatient or receiving care in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital.

The House enables families to stay together so that they can be with their sick child at what is a very traumatic time for them all.

The first,16 bedroom, Ronald McDonald House is situated on the grounds of Our Lady’s Hospital and our smaller 4 bedroom House is directly across the road at St Mary’s Drive.

Many families travel far from home to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. Often, it can be a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family. For children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having their mum and dad close by for love and support.  Ronald McDonald House program provides a Home for families so they can stay close by their hospitalised child at very little cost.  The House works on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest.

Rosie & Jim have made a donation of €200 to Castlebar Town FC. They are renting out a local school's pitch for training and matches as they  resurface their own pitch and badly need funds to help them rent and maintaining the grounds. If you are local and can help please consider donating to them!

Check out our sponsored Guide Dog in training April.  Isn't she a beauty?  Thanks to her puppy raiser Amanda for sending in these fab photos. She is clearly thriving and doing really well on her career path.

What lovely heartfelt letter we have received from the Cuisle Cancer Support Centre. And well done again to Margaret on the right in the photo above who ran the ladies mini marathon in aid of the centre. The Cuisle Cancer Support Centre is a fantastic service with fantastic people who have made a huge difference to families lives and we are happy and humbled to be able to donate. 

Dear Rosie & Jim

Thank you so much for your kind donation of €300 to the Cuisle Cancer Support Centre. Also thank you to Margaret who ran the ladies mini marathon in aid of the centre. Your kindness & generosity are very much appreciated.

The Cuisle Cancer Support Centre is a local charity servicing Laois/Kildare and surrounding counties. It provides a warm, safe and welcoming environment for people diagnosed with cancer and for their families and children affected by it.

The centre provides professional support through counselling, relaxation therapies and workshops helping people through their cancer journey. The aim of the centre is to reduce the distressing impact cancer can have on any family. We offer practical and emotional support. A care programme is tailored to each individual’s needs.

The centre has been built from the proceeds of fundraising events over the past number of years, and it has been your support, and the support of so many that has continued to make the centre a special place for people affected by Cancer. All our services are provided free of charge.

The Centre is operated under a voluntary board of trustees who govern the overall operation of the centre and do not receive any remuneration or expenses.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Staff in the Cuisle Cancer Support Centre I would once again thank you for your support.

The amazing work the St. Vincent de Paul charity do in our communities is well known. Although on hand to help all year round, Christmas time is especially difficult for those who reach out to SVP for support.
Rosie & Jim were happy to be able to make a donation of €1000 at Christmas and humbled by this lovely letter of thanks sent in reply from the National President.


"...Your kindness and generosity will make such a difference to those in need in your community this Christmas.
You will be there to help them falling into poverty and crises. You will be there to put food on their table. You will be there to heat their homes. You will be there to put presents under the Christmas tree.
You will be there just as they need you.

Thank you with all my heart for your thoughtful donation of €1,000.00 to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
A little help at the right time can make all the difference. And your donation today could be just what a family need to help them through this winter..."

We are really pleased to share that Rosie & Jim have donated €2000 to the much needed UNICEF Afghanistan charity.

1 in 2 Afghani Children Will Battle Malnutrition in 2022

Today, the situation unfolding in Afghanistan is getting worse by the hour.

Without help, 1 in 2 children under five in Afghanistan will be acutely malnourished in 2022.

Rising malnutrition, COVID -19, drought, disruptions to health care and crippling winter weather are putting 12.9 million children lives at risk.

The situation in Afghanistan is critical, and now winter will make it worse.

Winter in Afghanistan is severe, with temperatures regularly dropping below freezing. Without winter clothing, blankets and fuel, hungry children will struggle to survive.

Dear Rosie,

We have just received your amazing donation of € 2000.00 and vital supplies are now on their way to children!

Kindness like yours is ensuring that our mobile health teams can keep taking essential nutrition and health care services to the most vulnerable children in the hardest-to-reach areas. With around 300,000 children forced out of their homes because of the conflict, you are also supporting mobile health and nutrition teams in camps for internally displaced people and setting up nutrition hubs. Your recent donation will help to ensure that critical services like this can continue.

Thank you again for your wonderful kindness and timely help. With very best wishes from everyone on the team at UNICEF Afghanistan.

Alice Akunga
UNICEF Afghanistan Representative
