Pepe's Adventures: From Heuston Station to Cheering on the Boys in Blue!

We're beaming over the latest updates on Pepe, our sponsored Guide Dog for the Blind puppy. Pepe's raiser, Jacqui, is over the moon with his progress. From navigating the bustling environment of Heuston Station to showing his support at the RDS for the boys in blue, Pepe is proving to be a superstar in training!

With Jacqui, a veteran in puppy raising who has nurtured over 12 pups, Pepe couldn't be in better hands. It's heartwarming to see him grow, learn, and explore with such confidence and joy.

We were delighted to provide the winning prize of a £250 Titanic Hotel Belfast Voucher for the Hendersons Foodservice Gala Night this year.

The evening Gala Ball & Awards Ceremony was fundraising for NI Children's Hospice.

A guest speaker from NI Children's Hospice was humbling & reinforced the importance of fundraising support provides for families.

We’re humbled to be able to help the amazing charity Make-A-Wish Ireland and thank them for this lovely message.

“...thank you for all your support and generosity this year, as a company you’ve helped us grant magical wishes despite the challenges we have all faced in 2021. Without your support, we would not be able to bring joy to so many children who are suffering with a life-threatening illness this Christmas.”

Rosie & Jim are pleased to share they have donated €500 to the Powerpoint Engineering Team for their fundraiser for Down Syndrome Centre.

Best of luck to Conor and the team this Saturday as they head off on their 3 day cycle.

Powerpoint Engineering and its team are delighted to use our 580km 3 Day Charity Cycle Challenge to help raise much needed funds for Down Syndrome Centre. Taking place from 2nd July to 4th July 2022 and cycling from Malin Head in beautiful Donegal to Slea Head in the wilds of the Dingle Peninsula, we kindly ask you to donate what you can to this very worthy cause. Down Syndrome Centre is an incredible Irish charity and is Ireland’s first services-led centre for children with Down Syndrome aged 18 and under and their families. Helping children with Down Syndrome to reach their full potential in a positive manner, they provide vital family focussed services throughout Ireland with centres in Portlaoise, Cork and Monaghan.

Unfortunately all of the babies and children who spend time at LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice are life-limited by their conditions. The saddest and most difficult thing our families must face during their time with us is the loss of their little boy or girl. Dealing with the death of a baby is an incredibly difficult time for parents and many bereaved parents wish to spend some time with the baby. The CuddleCot is used to cool deceased babies allowing the family time to spend time with the baby. With this special piece of equipment, families can use our Butterfly Suite, a special room built for families to spend time with their little one after they have passed away, to say goodbye in as comfortable and peaceful a way as possible.

“Having this piece of equipment is a wonderful thing. As painful as it is, it gives parents like me some quality time with their loved one, it certainly did for me.” - Parent

We at Rosie & Jim are delighted to announce that our total donations to Irish Charities and Community Groups throughout 2018 came to just over €31,556.

In addition Rosie & Jim also donated more than 600 kilos of chicken products to Irish charities and those who provide support to the less well off in our communities.

We have made a donation of €2,000 to Oughaval Athletics Club! We're very pleased to have donated to this great club.

Rosie & Jim are proud to sponsor the Make-A-Wish Children's Charity.

Make-A-Wish grants wishes to children aged 3-17 battling life-threatening illnesses such as Leukaemia, Cystic Fibrosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, brain tumours, heart conditions and many more. They have granted over 1,700 wishes since 1992.

Wish children have suffered more than any child should and deserve to be granted their special wish as a reward for battling their illness. They desperately need a break from the routine of hospitals, injections and treatments. Testimonials show the power of a wish and the uplifting affect it can have on a family.

Make-A-Wish does not receive any government funding – they rely completely on the generosity and support of people and organisations who partner with them. At the moment, they have over 200 children on their waiting list and receive a large number of applications each month.

Support of Rosie & Jim

Make-A-Wish is very grateful to have the support of Rosie & Jim this year to fund a sensory bedroom wish for a very brave child. Sensory bedrooms have a long-lasting impact and bring with them significant medical benefits for the wish child. They enhance the quality of life for wish children for the time they have left. Sensory bedrooms can be an expensive wish and their ability to grant these wishes can be very much dependent on funding. It is thanks to the generosity of Rosie & Jim that we can transform the life of one of our wish children this year.
