Our Family Fun Day took place in August again this year – a day for all our families to come together and celebrate in LauraLynn. It is one of the most special days here in our children’s hospice.
This year our theme was Superheroes and Princesses, with some amazing costumes on the day from kids and adults alike!
After the overwhelming success of this event last year, Rosie & Jim generously sponsored this event for us again, ensuring we could make this fabulous day possible for all our families.
We're delighted to have once again donate 100 cases/620kg of chicken products to the Dublin Christian Mission Light House charity.
Dublin Christian Mission is a non-denominational organization located in the heart of Dublin.
Their goal is simple: meet the physical and spiritual needs of the community.

We're delighted to sponsor Andrew Wallace €150 for his charity race to raise awareness for Amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a rare disease that occurs when a substance called amyloid builds up in your organs. Amyloid is an abnormal protein that is produced in your bone marrow and can be deposited in any tissue or organ.
Well done to Andrew who is on track to fundraise his aim of €5000.
*UPDATED August 2019*
Andrew not only made his target he completely shattered it! Making a huge €21,000 himself, then a charity benefactor matched his donation, so that has now been turned into a whopping €42,000!! Fantastic News - well done Andrew!

A number of weeks ago, an employee of ours asked for support for his daughters friend, who is fundraising for the Kolkata school project. Rosie & Jim were delighted to donate chicken products for their fundraiser. It was a fantastic night and the girls raised over €1800!
Below is the lovely letter we received from the girls after their event...
Dear Rosie & Jim,
Thank you very much for your support in our fundraiser event last Saturday, the 3rd of October. Our fundraising efforts were in aid of our Immersion Experience to Kolkata with our school next February, were we will have the opportunity to work with disadvantaged children.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Carolyn McCarthy and Kate Danaher
Rosie & Jim has donated €2,000 to Unicef Libya Flood Emergency Appeal.
See below for more info and to donate:
Libya Floods Emergency Appeal
Right now the situation in Libya is getting worse by the day. Over 5,000 people have lost their lives due to devastating floods caused by Storm Daniel in eastern Libya, 10,000 more are still missing, and over 40,000 people have been internally displaced. Water supplies have been heavily damaged or destroyed, forcing people to drink contaminated water. Children left homeless, injured and traumatised are now at huge risk of getting sick from waterborne diseases like cholera, diarrhoea and malaria. Children in Libya are battling to survive amidst the crisis. They urgently need clean water, food and shelter to survive. UNICEF is on the ground working to deliver humanitarian aid but we need your help to reach every child in need. Please donate now and help children and their families survive.
As you can see, Hank is growing into a handsome young man for sure. He is great with other animals and takes his role at the allotment Bernadette and her husband have very seriously indeed :)
Rosie & Jim are pleased to share they have donated €2000 to a Malin Head to Slea Head Cycle Fundraiser for DEBRA Ireland
Conor McGarry and his 2 friends came up with the idea of cycling from the top to the bottom of Ireland over 3 days (25th - 27th June, 2021) – from Malin Head in beautiful Donegal to Slea Head in the wilds of the Dingle Peninsula. They decided to harness this challenge by raising money for DEBRA Ireland. DEBRA Ireland is an incredible charity which supports children and adults living with the painful, genetic skin condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Inspired by our fellow Laois person, Emma Fogarty, who is a Patient Ambassador of DEBRA Ireland, EB means that Emma’s skin is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly. There is no cure or treatment and for Emma the only way of controlling the wounds is constant bandage changes every second day.
