Charity Support

The donation page of our Shine A Light Night for Focus Ireland fundraiser closed on the 30th of November so all donations are now in and accounted for.

As you can see we raised a whopping €11,820 of our €5K goal!

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed and to our fab staff for taking part in this important event to shine a light on homelessness in Ireland.

LauraLynn’s Family Bereavement Programme provides both formal and informal help and support to all children and families who are accessing our service. Many parents wonder how they will carry on after the death of their child. Every family’s experience is different and it can be a roller coaster of emotions.

Thanks to the support of Rosie & Jim, our bereavement team are developing the programme this year with some new and enhanced services, including Family Bereavement Days, Pamper Morning for mothers, ‘Memory Walks’ for fathers, an Annual Memorial Service and a new LauraLynn Book of Remembrance.

Rosie & Jim are delighted to have paid off the Vets bills of €150 for these little cats who have been rescued by Anabatic Lodge Cat Sanctuary. Well done to everyone at the Cat Sanctuary for the amazing job they do, and thanks to Barbara for letting us know about their plight!

"Thank You  We would like to thank a supporter of Anabatic Lodge, Barbara, for thinking outside of the box and asking a reputable company to help us out a little. Rosie & Jim, based in Dublin, have kindly come on board as sponsors for our recent arrivals...Rosie & Jim! Their vet bill was paid in full yesterday and we are so grateful! Thank you so so much! "

Rosie and Jim are happy to announce that we are going to donate boxes of our Chicken Products every week to the Ronald McDonal House Charities.

Here's a pic and a post of their chef cooking them up last Friday.

"Thank you to our amazing Friday volunteer Chef Sean Mahon who has just cooked up some delicious chicken goujons which were very generously supplied by Rosie & Jim's poultry product range"

Ronald McDonald House Charities

The Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation care and support for 20 families every night while their seriously ill children are inpatient or receiving care in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital.

The House enables families to stay together so that they can be with their sick child at what is a very traumatic time for them all.

The first,16 bedroom, Ronald McDonald House is situated on the grounds of Our Lady’s Hospital and our smaller 4 bedroom House is directly across the road at St Mary’s Drive.

Many families travel far from home to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. Often, it can be a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family. For children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having their mum and dad close by for love and support.  Ronald McDonald House program provides a Home for families so they can stay close by their hospitalised child at very little cost.  The House works on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest.

Say hello to Percy, one of the adorable Irish Guide Dogs puppies proudly sponsored by Rosie & Jim!

Thanks to his puppy raiser Eva in Waterford, we've got a delightful update and some heartwarming photos of Percy enjoying his beach adventures in Tramore.

At 13 weeks old, Percy is already showing us his unique personality. He's a big, sensitive fellow who dives headfirst into new experiences - from bounding around to seeking cuddles for reassurance.
Eva shares,

"Percy is fantastic around people, other dogs, and even our cat. He's a quick learner and hasn't shown any major fears, even during his first trip around Tesco!"

Brave and curious, Percy is acing his early socialisation tests.
But like all youngsters, he has his moments - like deciding to sit mid-walk if the route isn't to his liking!  His toilet training is going splendidly, and he's a fan of sleeping in a bed over a crate.
One of Percy's favourite things? Relaxing by the fireplace in the evenings, watching 'In the Dog House' on TV. He's a true cuddler and loves to be right on your lap.
He's already comfortable in his training jacket and loves car rides and outings. Eva says, "I could go on forever!" - and we absolutely love hearing every bit about Percy's journey!

Join us in cheering on Percy as he continues his journey to becoming a guide dog. We're so proud to be part of his story and grateful to Eva for her amazing work.

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.
