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.

Rosie & Jim are pleased to sponsor €750 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland cycle jersey again this year.

Reach your fundraising target and you'll receive a bespoke finishers yellow jersey!

This is a beautiful cycle around Blessington Lakes in County Wicklow. You can select from 3 courses, a 25km which is easy for all family members to enjoy starting from The Avon Resort at the foot of the Wicklow Mountains. The 50km route lets you embrace nature by completing two loops of the lake. For a seasoned cyclist the 100km will provide more of a challenge with more undulations but still enjoying the stunning views and connecting with nature.

Rosie & Jim are delighted to sponsor fundraiser in Asia for MAG (Mines Action Group) for the amount of €300.

Managing Director of Henderson Foodservice Cathal Geoghegan participated in a charity cycle event in Asia for MAG (Mines Action Group). Cathal joined a team of 35 sector leaders participating in a 400km cycle from Chaing Rai, Thailand to Luang Prabang in Laos.

Every day across the world 15 people are killed or injured by a landmine or unexploded bomb. Half of all civilian casualties are children. MAG teams work around the world to remove landmines and other deadly weapons, reducing the risk of death or injury and returning land to safe and productive use. MAG also provides risk education classes, so children and their families can stay as safe as possible until land is cleared. In 2023, the Thai-Laos Cycle Challenge will finish in Laos, which is the most heavily bombed county in the world per capita. The team has set themselves an equally challenging target of £170,000 which will make a life changing difference to people living with the daily threat of landmines and unexploded bombs.

Congratulations and well done to everyone who took part in this fantastic fundraiser!
