Rosie & Jim are pleased to sponsor the Friends of the Coombe €200 for their fundraising event - 'Clash of the Titans' on Sunday 29th September at The Button Factory, Temple Bar.
The fundraiser is to help raise money for the ongoing campaign to raise €75,000 to purchase the world’s most advanced premature baby clinical simulator to transform the way in which healthcare professionals at the Coombe Women & Infants University Hospital develop and maintain the critical clinical skills needed for when it matters most.
Friends of the Coombe is a registered charity that was established in 1982 to raise funds to assist the development of the Coombe Women & Infants University Hospital. The Hospital’s commitment to a philosophy of care which is family centred is visible in all aspects of its work.
The Coombe Women & Infants University Hospital is one of the largest and most comprehensive providers of women and infant health care in Europe. The hospital cares for up to 10,000 pregnant women every year. Additionally, approximately 1,200 infants are admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Centre and over 8,000 adult surgical operations are performed. The hospital provides comprehensive care for women and infants at local, regional and national levels.
There is enormous pressure on resources and, through fundraising alone, supporters have helped the charity purchase a long list of vital equipment which enhances the quality of care provided right across the hospital. And, like all charities, we have to prioritise need and so we work closely with the medical staff to ensure that we focus on the things which cannot be funded from other resources.
In December we made a donation of €1000 to the Peter McVerry Trust. Peter McVerry Trust is a charity set up by Fr Peter McVerry to reduce homelessness and the harm caused by drug misuse and social disadvantage.
Thanks to Pat Doyle, CEO of Peter McVerry Trust who sent us a lovely letter in reply.
" On behalf of Peter McVerry Trust, I would like to sincerely thank Rosie and Jim for the generous donation of €1000 which was received with sincere thanks in my office.
The goal of Peter McVerry Trust is to reduce homelessness, drug misuse and social disadvantage. In 2015, we supported 4,705 individuals through our prevention services, homeless services, housing services, drug treatment services and under 18s residential services.
There's no doubt that the need of homeless people is great, but your generosity makes it possible for us to continue our work and to move as many individuals as we can out of homelessness.
Thank you again for this generous contribution..."

Rosie & Jim are humbled and thrilled to Make-A-Wish come true for Danielle.
Danielle, aged 4, from Sligo, is living with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. She loves playing and really wanted a playhouse for her and her siblings/friends to play in. She specifically said green because she likes the idea of a green playhouse in the garden. Her favourite colour is pink and she loves dancing and singing. She can’t really travel and shares a room with her sister so having a space of her own is what this wish is all about.
"Thanks to the generosity of Rosie & Jim, Make-A-Wish were able to get her an amazing and spacious Summerhouse and include fantastic interior furnishings to turn it into a cosy, multi-functional space. On the day of the reveal, Danielle’s mum, with the help of our amazing volunteers Martina and John, threw a party for Danielle and the whole family, where everyone got to have a go at the Karaoke machine and some arts and crafts! Thanks again for your support, as you can see you have made a little girl extremely happy!"

Thank you so much for your wonderful support - just look at the smile on Danielle's face!

We're excited to share a glimpse into the life of Pepe, one of the charming Irish Guide Dogs puppies sponsored by Rosie & Jim! With his puppy raiser, Jacqui, in Rathfarnham, Pepe is truly 'flying it' in his training.
Under the guidance of Jacqui, one of the most experienced puppy raisers with Irish Guide Dogs, Pepe is making remarkable progress. His adventures have taken him to local shops, parks, and supermarkets, and he's handling all these new experiences with impressive ease and confidence.
Jacqui shares, "Pepe is taking everything in his stride ". It's wonderful to see how adaptable and eager he is, whether he's exploring the bustling aisles of a supermarket or enjoying the tranquility of the park.
Every day is a new opportunity for learning and growth for Pepe, and his enthusiastic approach to his training is truly inspiring.
See Pepe on his adventures around Rathfarnham. His journey is not just about becoming a guide dog; it's about growing into a confident, well-rounded companion ready to make a life-changing difference.
Join us in cheering on Pepe as he continues his journey with Jacqui. We're so proud to support his development and grateful for the dedication of puppy raisers like Jacqui.
Look at these fab photos of April, one of our sponsored Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind! She's enjoying life at home and out and about & look how big she's getting! Well done to her puppy raiser Sandra on doing such a fantastic job (and for taking these great shots!)
Meet Hank and his puppy raiser, Bernadette!
Hank is settling in to life in Sandyford with his puppy raiser, Bernadette.
Hank is Bernadette’s 7th puppy she has raised so he is in good hands! He is a bit of a cheeky chappy and a bit of a character, something that Izzy has shown also. Their raisers are finding it hard to be too hard on them. Training for Hank is also going very well at present and presenting to be a very quick learner.
