Charity Support

Rosie & Jim are pleased to share they have donated €500 to the Powerpoint Engineering Team for their fundraiser for Down Syndrome Centre.

Best of luck to Conor and the team this Saturday as they head off on their 3 day cycle.

Powerpoint Engineering and its team are delighted to use our 580km 3 Day Charity Cycle Challenge to help raise much needed funds for Down Syndrome Centre. Taking place from 2nd July to 4th July 2022 and cycling from Malin Head in beautiful Donegal to Slea Head in the wilds of the Dingle Peninsula, we kindly ask you to donate what you can to this very worthy cause. Down Syndrome Centre is an incredible Irish charity and is Ireland’s first services-led centre for children with Down Syndrome aged 18 and under and their families. Helping children with Down Syndrome to reach their full potential in a positive manner, they provide vital family focussed services throughout Ireland with centres in Portlaoise, Cork and Monaghan.

Rosie & Jim have made a donation of €2000 to the Oxfam Ireland 'Get Children Back to School' fundraising initiative. 

Children in Iraq probably want nothing more than to go back to their classrooms and playgrounds too. But as families who fled Mosul when the conflict started slowly start to return, they’re finding their schools destroyed.

Hank, Izzy and Champ - look at them now!

The Irish Guide Dogs we have sponsored have returned to Cork for further assessment and training and they are after getting so big while they have been away! Aside from being adorable these doggies are on a mission to train hard and work to help empower people to move safely and confidently around their communities.

Hank has been selected for the Guide Dog programme and has begun very well.

Izzy is settling in well after an initial stressful period for her after leaving her home but staff at HQ are looking after her well. She is still been evaluated for her suitability for either the Guide or Assistance dog programme.

And Champ has been selected for the Assistance Dog programme and has displayed an excellent temperament for this. He will hopefully come through to work with a family of a child with autism.

The Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind is an amazing charity - please donate if you can!

Congratulations again to Fiona Staunton and her nominated charity Aoibheann's Pink Tie on winning €1000 donation from Rosie & Jim.

Here's Tracey delivering the HUGE cheque!

Aoibheann's Pink Tie

Aoibheann’s Pink Tie “National Children’s Cancer Charity” was set up in 2010 by Mick Rochford and Jimmy Norman after the tragic loss of Jimmy’s daughter Aoibheann to cancer aged just 8 years. During Aoibheann’s year long battle with this dreadful disease, the family found little or no financial or practical support  for children and their families.

Jimmy and his family had a large support network of friends and family but found that many on the ward had virtually no support at all.

When Aoibheann passed away the men wore pink ties at the funeral which was Aoibheann’s favourite colour. The charity was formed in her memory to remedy the lack of support for other children and their families going through treatment.

Update on our gorgeous little hard working Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Aska - what a cutey, she gets first position this week.

April exploring public transport for the first time, it's a crucial experience for her which went well according to her puppy raiser, Sandra.

And Andrew checking out the shops before restrictions were lifted. It was great to have the shopping centre a little quieter than normal for his first visit but business as usual now for him for his next visit!

Well done to the puppy raisers doing such a good job!

Rosie & Jim are very pleased to sponsor training tops for St. Conleths LGFC in the Portarlington area.

The U16 team are in the B Championship Final against Ballyfin on Friday at 6.30pm!

Best of luck ladies! Hope the tops bring you as much luck as they brought the Courtwood GAA team ;-)
