Hank - our handsome boy enjoying his last few weeks with his puppy raiser Bernadette.

The pups will make their way to Cork in the next few weeks for year 2 and formal training will begin.

Exciting times for all three of them - though they are sure to miss their puppy raisers.

Rosie & Jim donate €200 to Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services

We received this lovely letter of thanks from the team...

On behalf of all those who use Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services, their family and friends, I would like to extend our most grateful thanks for your generous donation of €200. Your gift will allow us to continue to help our patients to live the last chapter of their lives to the fullest.

Here at Our Lady's Hospice and Care Services, we provide specialist care to people with a wide range of life limiting conditions, both in our hospice and within their homes. Budget cuts and demands on our services mean that we have never needed the help of the local community more to maintain our services.

This donation will help us to further develop our services and to give high quality specialist palliative care to our patients and their families.

Thank you from all of the team here. Your kindness is truly appreciated.

Rosie & Jim are delighted to sponsor fundraiser in Asia for MAG (Mines Action Group) for the amount of €300.

Managing Director of Henderson Foodservice Cathal Geoghegan participated in a charity cycle event in Asia for MAG (Mines Action Group). Cathal joined a team of 35 sector leaders participating in a 400km cycle from Chaing Rai, Thailand to Luang Prabang in Laos.

Every day across the world 15 people are killed or injured by a landmine or unexploded bomb. Half of all civilian casualties are children. MAG teams work around the world to remove landmines and other deadly weapons, reducing the risk of death or injury and returning land to safe and productive use. MAG also provides risk education classes, so children and their families can stay as safe as possible until land is cleared. In 2023, the Thai-Laos Cycle Challenge will finish in Laos, which is the most heavily bombed county in the world per capita. The team has set themselves an equally challenging target of £170,000 which will make a life changing difference to people living with the daily threat of landmines and unexploded bombs.

Congratulations and well done to everyone who took part in this fantastic fundraiser!

It’s hard to believe that two years have come to an end but we are thrilled that the support we have given to Irish Guide Dogs now has a happy ending for all.

We are delighted to report the outcome of the 3 pups we sponsored back at the end of 2018 have had the following results:

Izzy – is now a Guide Dog with a lady in Cork

Champ – is now a Guide Dog with a gentleman in Louth

Hank – is now an Assistance Dog for a family in Cork who’s son has autism. He has been in training with them since last month.

Amazing! Well done to the Team of raisers and trainers at Irish Guide Dogs!

An update from Percy's puppy raiser, Eva, has us beaming with pride! Percy, the goodest boy, is thriving at five months old.
He's a natural on the lead, with perfect walking manners and a recall that's spot-on!
Percy's formed strong bonds with IGD brood dog Bella and their pet cat, enjoying cozy snooze sessions in the evenings.
Despite a tough bout with a tummy bug before Christmas, Percy's bounced back stronger than ever.  He's a true softy at heart, melting hearts with his love for cuddles.
Here's to Percy's continued growth and cuddle-filled adventures!
