These clinical trolleys are used for easy mobility of suction machines and other vital medical equipment. They are made from a type of Perspex which is so easy to keep hygienically clean. As such they also look much nicer and are far less noisy, which means they do not frighten or intimidate our children in the same way as stainless steel trolley’s.

We were very much in need of 4 of these trolley’s to enable our medical team to distribute their treatments as safely and easily as possible, with as little upset to our children as possible.

Rosie & Jim sponsored these 4 trolley’s for us at a cost of €2,300, making a huge difference to the Hazel House unit of LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice.

Rosie & Jim were delighted to donate €300 to Barry's 2 Year Beardathon!

Well done to Barry for riasing over €14,000 for Family Carers Ireland and The Alzheimer Society of Ireland.

Here's a few photos of our lovely sponsored guide dog Champ at Claremount Beach!

Thanks to his raiser Kathy for these great shots!  :-)

Rosie & Jim are humbled to donate €2500 to the The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Ireland Annual Appeal.

For almost two centuries now, caring souls like you have been at the heart of a proud SVP tradition of giving to people facing great hardship at Christmas. Amy’s family are really struggling. Her father lost his small business last year and he’s trying to keep everything together. But he can’t keep up with all the bills. As prices continue increasing, he just can’t afford food and fuel. Some days he has to choose between feeding his children or keeping them warm. That is unless Amy’s father picks up the phone to SVP… and you are there to answer. Your donation today will help families like Amy’s with basics such as food and fuel. You could give them some breathing space to pay their bills and keep their home warm. You can make sure they don’t have to skip meals. You can reach out your hand to a neighbour in need. You could save a family from impossible choices this Christmas. So please, if you can, support our Annual Appeal and make a special Christmas gift to SVP today. Thank you for helping families in need in your local community.

Rosie & Jim recently sponsored Rath National School €15,000 for a sensory room for children with special needs within the school.

The parents of the children attended the launch and had a lovely reception of tea and buns for Rosie.  They presented her with flowers and a lovely card on the day as a special thank you. We are both thrilled to be able to donate to a life changing resource like this.

Wishing the children at Rath N.S. many happy hours in the sensory room.

Our delicious Chicken Goujons are cooking up nice and crispy over at Ronald McDonald House Charities.
