Make-A-Wish® Ireland has one simple aim - to grant the wishes of children aged between 3 and 17 years living with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. A wish granted is true magic for the child, providing respite from their normal routines of hospitals, doctors and treatment. Since inception in 1992 they have granted over 2,000 wishes in Ireland. They believe a wish can have a lasting impact on a child's life. A wish can create moments of joy - and memories that last a life-time.
Rosie & Jim have donated €500 to the Make-A-Wish® Ireland Christmas Campaign.
We are really pleased to share that Rosie & Jim have donated €2000 to the much needed UNICEF Afghanistan charity.
1 in 2 Afghani Children Will Battle Malnutrition in 2022
Today, the situation unfolding in Afghanistan is getting worse by the hour.
Without help, 1 in 2 children under five in Afghanistan will be acutely malnourished in 2022.
Rising malnutrition, COVID -19, drought, disruptions to health care and crippling winter weather are putting 12.9 million children lives at risk.
The situation in Afghanistan is critical, and now winter will make it worse.
Winter in Afghanistan is severe, with temperatures regularly dropping below freezing. Without winter clothing, blankets and fuel, hungry children will struggle to survive.
Dear Rosie,
We have just received your amazing donation of € 2000.00 and vital supplies are now on their way to children!
Kindness like yours is ensuring that our mobile health teams can keep taking essential nutrition and health care services to the most vulnerable children in the hardest-to-reach areas. With around 300,000 children forced out of their homes because of the conflict, you are also supporting mobile health and nutrition teams in camps for internally displaced people and setting up nutrition hubs. Your recent donation will help to ensure that critical services like this can continue.
Thank you again for your wonderful kindness and timely help. With very best wishes from everyone on the team at UNICEF Afghanistan.

Rosie & Jim have sponsor 10 months worth of Nellcor Oxygen Centres.
These Nellcor Oxygen Centres are one of the many vital pieces of equipment LauraLynn needs on a daily basis to provide medical care to our children.

Rosie & Jim has kindly sponsored of these for 10 months for LauraLynn House, our palliative care unit.

The club would to thank Rosie & Jim for their very generous sponsorship of a new kit for the U16 premier squad. The squad were home today and reported a 2-nil win over Sallins Celtic, it was a fantastic maiden voyage for the new kit.

So we have two things to thank them for; great tasting chicken & a fantastic social conscience.
Thanks for the kind words. We're thrilled you like the kits and our 'great tasting chicken'!

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.

Heartfelt Thanks For Another Year Of Your Kind Support
The people who attend the Centre -
Every person needs to belong and have a place where they are respected and have their basic needs met in a caring and non-judgemental way. For most people this is where they call home and in an ideal world, families can share the normal ups and downs of life in privacy behind their own hall door. Sadly some people must spend their days trying to find shelter from the weather, a place to rest and prepare before going out to face the day. Their most basic needs are access to toilet facilities, somewhere to wash and change their clothes, decent hot meals, someone to interact with. Many people lack what most of us take for granted and have no security as to where they will lay their heads that night. While this is tragic for adults, it is heart breaking for families with children who are forced to move from place to place with no stability as to their living conditions.
