We are delighted to announce we are embarking (excuse the pun!) on another exciting partnership with the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind by sponsoring the training of 3 new pups. The pups, from the A Litter, the first litter of the year, were born on February 5th and are named Aska, April and Andrew.

John Burke, Corporate Partnerships Manager for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind commented, “Over the last two years the team at Rosie & Jim have supported 3 pups Champ, Izzy and Hank which was a truly wonderful and rewarding partnership: two of the dogs graduated to be Guide Dogs and one to be an Assistance Dog. Rosie & Jim have most definitely helped us to change lives. We are now delighted to have the team form another partnership with Aska, April and Andrew for the next two years and we look forward to tracking their progress through puppy raising, formal training and onwards to graduation. Thank you to everyone at Rosie & Jim.”

The cost of early training of a Guide Dog puppy is €5,000 per puppy for their first year. Rosie & Jim are funding €30,000 to provide vitally important early training for three puppies for their first two years.
With more than 54,810 people in Ireland registered blind or visually impaired and over 1% of the population impacted by autism, the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind works tirelessly to facilitate those affected by providing them Guide and Assistance Dogs. The average cost of training a dog is in the region of €53,000 and the charity rely on 85% of their funding through sponsorship like this and fundraising to continue to deliver their vital services for free throughout Ireland.

Director of Rosie & Jim, Rosie, says:
“We are thrilled to again assist with the amazing work carried out by Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind by supporting the training of 3 dogs who will provide a great sense of assurance and independence for families and individuals. We’re so proud of Champ, Izzy and Hank now helping to change lives and we’re looking forward to watching Aska, April and Andrew grow throughout the year on their way towards becoming a Guide or Assistance Dog.”

He is willing, responsive and clever.. He is enjoying the work and on his time off, he loves going to the woods for a run and swimming."

Rosie & Jim are thrilled and humbled to sponsor Make A Wish Ireland in making Eimear's wish of having a Safety Sleeper come true.

Eimear's mum Fiona, sent in a lovely letter explaining how much this would improve Eimear's life.

We are so grateful as a family to get the safety sleeper gifted to Eimear as it especially changes holidays for us as family. Since getting the safety sleeper we can now like any other family decide to go on holidays, and we have gone during the summer and just last weekend, and Eimear has slept and enjoyed the holidays as much. As life can be very busy for us and challenging at times it is great for us and especially Eimear and her siblings to get away for a break. Now that we have the safety sleeper it gives us a new peace of mind and the option of a holiday.

Angelman Syndrome means that Eimear has severe complex needs, including sleep disturbances, sensory processing disorder, epilepsy, non verbal, short attention, no sense of danger/lack of sense of security. So for safety reasons she requires an enclosed bed.

Thanks for the lovely letter Fiona, Dermot, Alannah, Eimear and Jason.

We wish you many happy night's sleep in the new Safety Sleeper Eimear and hope you get to try it out on holiday soon :)

Rosie & Jim have sponsored the Meat Products Category in the Coeliac Society of Ireland Food List 2021!

Check out our full list of Gluten Free Products on page 142 of this invaluable guide.

Coeliac Society of Ireland Food List 2021

Each year the Coeliac Society produces a “List of Gluten-Free Manufactured Products”, also referred to as the “Food List”.

The Food List is compiled in accordance with current EC legislation. The booklet also features “own brand” products that are “gluten-free” from some of the main supermarket chains. If you are a coeliac and eat any processed foods, a current Food List is a valuable resource in selecting food.

Many people are confused by allergen labelling and the more recent EC Gluten-free Labelling Legislation. Members are turning to the Food List for reassurance about what is safe to eat.
