Charity Support

Happy Earth Day! To mark the occasion, we're sharing some highlights from a very special day when the Rosie & Jim team came together to plant 500 trees!
With plenty of muddy boots, smiles, and teamwork, it was a fantastic experience and one we were proud to do in partnership with Wolfgang Reforest.

In our support for the displaced people of Ukraine, Rosie & Jim have made a donation to UNICEF in the amount of €5,000.

Dear Rosie,

We have just received your amazing donation of €5000.00 and vital supplies are now on their way to children in Ukraine! Kindness like yours are helping to reach to children and their families with life-saving humanitarian aid. With around 510,000 children forced out of their homes because of the conflict, you are supporting the delivery of clean water, warm blankets and clothes, and emergency kits to children in danger.

Thank you again for your wonderful kindness and timely help.

We are delighted to announce we are embarking (excuse the pun!) on another exciting partnership with the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind by sponsoring the training of 3 new pups. The pups, from the A Litter, the first litter of the year, were born on February 5th and are named Aska, April and Andrew.

John Burke, Corporate Partnerships Manager for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind commented, “Over the last two years the team at Rosie & Jim have supported 3 pups Champ, Izzy and Hank which was a truly wonderful and rewarding partnership: two of the dogs graduated to be Guide Dogs and one to be an Assistance Dog. Rosie & Jim have most definitely helped us to change lives. We are now delighted to have the team form another partnership with Aska, April and Andrew for the next two years and we look forward to tracking their progress through puppy raising, formal training and onwards to graduation. Thank you to everyone at Rosie & Jim.”

The cost of early training of a Guide Dog puppy is €5,000 per puppy for their first year. Rosie & Jim are funding €30,000 to provide vitally important early training for three puppies for their first two years.
With more than 54,810 people in Ireland registered blind or visually impaired and over 1% of the population impacted by autism, the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind works tirelessly to facilitate those affected by providing them Guide and Assistance Dogs. The average cost of training a dog is in the region of €53,000 and the charity rely on 85% of their funding through sponsorship like this and fundraising to continue to deliver their vital services for free throughout Ireland.

Director of Rosie & Jim, Rosie, says:
“We are thrilled to again assist with the amazing work carried out by Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind by supporting the training of 3 dogs who will provide a great sense of assurance and independence for families and individuals. We’re so proud of Champ, Izzy and Hank now helping to change lives and we’re looking forward to watching Aska, April and Andrew grow throughout the year on their way towards becoming a Guide or Assistance Dog.”

Rosie and Jim were especially delighted to donate €450 to our very own staff member Tracey who was fundraising for Aoibheann’s Pink Tie charity. Tracey was one of over 2,000 women who set a new world record with the Worlds Largest Skinny Dip event at a secluded beach in Wicklow. With all proceeds going to the National Children’s Cancer Charity it really is a fantastic charity to support.

Tracey also held a fundraiser night and we were more than happy to provide the food for the night which raised €1400.

Meet Izzy and his puppy raiser, Emma!

Izzy is now settling in well in Duleek, Meath with her puppy raiser Emma, but has already made a few trips to Dublin during her early solcialisation.

Emma refers to Izzy as her baby now! She is a great spirited young pup as Emma says and she is taking to her training really well.

Have a look as photos of Izzy, some of her when she first arrived with Emma, and some recent ones also.

Photos of Izzy - he's growing fast!

LauraLynn is required to incorporate on-going learning into its service development initiatives, but unfortunately the cost of this is considerable.  Rosie & Jim have supported us this quarter by putting funding towards educational and training resources for our nurses and carers.  Funding for educational books and training for development and up-skilling is crucial to the development of the service and care we provide here. 

Sponsorship of our Annual Report

Each year LauraLynn release an Annual Report, where our members, service users and funders can read about our activities and achievements in the past year while learning about our future objectives. It is an invaluable tool for communicating with all our stakeholders. We are hugely grateful to Rosie & Jim for sponsoring our Annual Report this year.
