Charity Support

Rosie & Jim are delighted to sponsor Arlington Soccer Club U15 & U16 brand new kits - that's 2 kits at €1200!

Thanks for the lovely Facebook post from the Club - thanking us. And how great does the kit look on the U16 team who won 2-0 in their first match wearing them?!

The club would to thank Rosie & Jim for their very generous sponsorship of a new kit for the U16 premier squad. The squad were home today and reported a 2-nil win over Sallins Celtic, it was a fantastic maiden voyage for the new kit. Rosie & Jim are a fantastic family run business who are continually supporting the community locally and nationally. So we have two things to thank them for; great tasting chicken & a fantastic social conscience.

Thanks for the kind words. We're thrilled you like the kits and our 'great tasting chicken'! 

Rosie & Jim have donated €5000 to DEBRA Ireland.

This is EB Awareness Week 2022.

Many people living with EB are struggling to get the support they desperately need, and a lack of funding and a shortage of nurses are leaving some families without reliable and consistent nursing care at home.
Join the fight for EB care and add your name to call on the Minister for Health to invest in EB care now - debraireland.org/ebaw

Nursing care is essential to protect the health and wellbeing of children and adults with more severe forms of EB.
These nurses manage and assess wounds at home and are vital to helping prevent dangerous infections.
No parent should be forced to provide this complex care themselves due to a lack of resources.
Bandage changes involve intense physical pain, making it particularly difficult and emotionally draining for parents and loved ones.

* What is EB?

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic condition that makes your skin so fragile that even a gentle touch can cause blistering and open wounds. Children and adults living with more severe forms of EB have to wear bandages across most of their body to protect their skin and prevent infection. These bandages and the wounds they protect need to be carefully looked after, with most people needing a full bandage change at home at least three times each week. Bandage changes are a painful procedure during which blisters are burst and drained, ointments are applied, and the skin is wrapped in up to three layers of dressing.

Rosie & Jim have donated €500 to the annual Musgrave Triathlon fundraiser. This year it's a bit different.

The Musgrave Triathalon has helped raise a staggering €4.8 million for a number of charities. In 2019 they raised €220,000. They distributed these funds by giving €140,000 to Breakthrough Cancer Research to fund another Musgrave Cancer Research 3-year PHD Scholarship with the aim to improve cancer care and increase survival rates. €40,000 to AsIAm to employ a community support officer to provide one to one advice and guidance to the autism community. It also funded a series of events, across the country addressing issues which the community support officer identifies are common trends and challenges for the community. €40,000 to Focus Ireland, which were used to help 45 young people leaving state care to access the support, skills, education and develop the confidence they need to live independently.

As we all know well 2020 has been a year unlike any other we have ever encountered and through this pandemic charities have been one of those areas that have been hit hard. So, for 2020 they are doing something a little different - the “Musgrave Triathlon…. That’s not a triathlon” Virtual event. The chosen charity is Breakthrough Cancer Research.

For the month of November they will run the “Musgrave Triathlon…. that’s not a Triathlon” for colleagues, retailers and suppliers of Musgraves. The event has a range of activities that you can chose from and the aim is to complete them over the month of November. You can sign up for 50km or 100km and your activity can be swimming, cycling, running, walking etc. how you build up your kilometers is up to you. There is also an option to do activity hours of 15 or 30 hours and this can be for aerobic classes, yoga, spinning or gym work. Finally, there is an option to sign up to challenges which will be set for the month and weekly videos distributed these will include, toning, aerobic and yoga challenges.

Heartfelt Thanks For Another Year Of Your Kind Support

The people who attend the Centre -

Every person needs to belong and have a place where they are respected and have their basic needs met in a caring and non-judgemental way. For most people this is where they call home and in an ideal world, families can share the normal ups and downs of life in privacy behind their own hall door. Sadly some people must spend their days trying to find shelter from the weather, a place to rest and prepare before going out to face the day. Their most basic needs are access to toilet facilities, somewhere to wash and change their clothes, decent hot meals, someone to interact with. Many people lack what most of us take for granted and have no security as to where they will lay their heads that night. While this is tragic for adults, it is heart breaking for families with children who are forced to move from place to place with no stability as to their living conditions.
