Our team at Rosie & Jim are excited to apply the valuable insights gained from Bord Bia's recent seminar on "Video Optimization & Distribution for Social Media." The workshop covered vital strategies like leveraging audience funnels for targeted content, optimizing video for maximum engagement, and creating a cohesive digital presence across various platforms. These strategies are invaluable as we continue to strengthen our digital presence and we’re excited to implement them to enhance our digital marketing efforts.

Thank you, Bord Bia, for organizing such an informative event, and special thanks to Megan for representing us and actively engaging in the event.

Rosie & Jim have made a donation of €2000 to the Oxfam Ireland 'Get Children Back to School' fundraising initiative. 

Children in Iraq probably want nothing more than to go back to their classrooms and playgrounds too. But as families who fled Mosul when the conflict started slowly start to return, they’re finding their schools destroyed.

Rosie & Jim sponsored €750 for the The Ronald McDonald House Charities cycling jersey.

They were planning an annual cycle around Blessington Lakes on April 25th but this fundraising event sadly had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. So they have come up with a new plan - for May!

Cycle 60km during the month of May, in your own area and when suits you to help continue to care for our families at this unique time. It costs us €60.00 per night per family, and by registering you will be providing a family a home for the night when they need it the most.  Register online on Giv2Go for €60.00. Receive the bespoke Ronald McDonald cycle jersey. Keep one family close to their seriously sick child for one night. Cycle apart and come together for Ronald McDonald House.

This is a hugely important fundraiser as they continue to raise funds for their New House alongside the New Children’s Hospital.

Check out the fab jerseys with Rosie & Jim logo! We're sure they'll get plenty of use once the restrictions are lifted :)

Susan O’Keeffe has Motor Neurone Disease, a progressive condition that affects how messages are sent to the muscles.  She can’t speak any more and has very limited mobility; she can type with one finger. Even though she has a very serious illness and is facing life’s end far too early, her focus is on helping others.  She has generously offered to help Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services to raise funds for the build and fit-out of 36 new single, state-of-the-art, palliative care bedrooms at the Hospice in Harold’s Cross.  

We received a remarkable letter from Susan, telling us her amazing story, and the incredible benefit the Hospice at Blackrock is to her and other’s in a similar place to her.

We, at Rosie & Jim, were humbled to be able to donate €250 to the Hospice for these crucial building works.  

Aska, one of our sponsored Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind is now in training on the Guide Dog programme with trainer, Allyce.

As part of our Commitment to Sustainability Rosie & Jim continue to fund the planting of 12 trees per month with Wolfgang Reforester.

It costs €20 per month to provide for the planting of a tree. Rosie & Jim provides for the planting of 12 trees per month. This is annual contribution of €2880 and 144 trees planted per year on behalf of Rosie & Jim's efforts to offset our carbon emissions. 

The Wolfgang Reforest ambition is to create a movement of people planting trees. Planting trees can revitalise wildlife and reverse climate change.

Here is a little update on Andrew, one of our sponsored Guide Dogs for the Blind in Cork. He is potentially about to be matched with another guide dog owner.

Good luck Andrew!

What a pleasure it was to attend the Gluten Free Roadshow organised by The Coeliac Society of Ireland in Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork.

This event, sponsored by Dunnes Stores, was a fantastic day with cookery demos, informative talks and panel discussions.

The attendants thoroughly enjoyed their samples of Rosie & Jim chicken including Gluten Free Battered Chunks, Gluten free Southern Fried Goujons and Gluten Free Crispy Shredded Chicken.

It was great to chat to everyone and hear how much they enjoyed eating our products in their homes.

We're already looking forward to next year’s event.

Thanks to Kathy, Champ's minder for taking these wonderful photos of Champ. He had the company of another puppy, Orbit, in training recently. How cute are they together?!

His training going very well.  He is excellent in the house apart from waking up too early! He is walking very well, stops a bit to check things out but quickly continues on.  His recall is very good.

He is growing into a fine handsome dog and loves his free runs away from the training.
