Rosie & Jim are delighted to sponsor Fisherstown Festival 2016!

Taking place at the end of June, The Fisherstown Festival is held at the picturesque surrounding of the Fishermans Thatched Inn, at Fisherstown Co. Laois.
The Fishermans Thatched Inn is located on an ancient crossroads on what was once the main highway between Tara; home to the high kings of Ireland and Cashel. A fitting location for the festival to promote community spirit and involvement, and the rich traditional Irish culture.

LauraLynn is required to incorporate on-going learning into its service development initiatives, but unfortunately the cost of this is considerable.  Rosie & Jim have supported us this quarter by putting funding towards educational and training resources for our nurses and carers.  Funding for educational books and training for development and up-skilling is crucial to the development of the service and care we provide here. 

Sponsorship of our Annual Report

Each year LauraLynn release an Annual Report, where our members, service users and funders can read about our activities and achievements in the past year while learning about our future objectives. It is an invaluable tool for communicating with all our stakeholders. We are hugely grateful to Rosie & Jim for sponsoring our Annual Report this year.

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.

For the second time, Rosie & Jim have made a donation towards our most critical need… respite care. 

Respite & end-of-life care are the very heart of what we do here at LauraLynn.  With the urgent focus being on funding LauraLynn@HOME, we desperately need to ensure we continue to receive funding to run the hospice and provide care to the families who come and stay with us.  Heartfelt thanks to Rosie & Jim for once again sponsoring respite care and giving this invaluable gift of time and care to our families.
