Charity Support

The Family Fun Day which takes place in August is a day that we dedicate to our children and their families.

It is a day of fun, laughter and activity where the children who use our service and all their family members are invited to come together on the grounds of LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, where our staff and dedicated volunteers create a special day for them all. The day includes face painters, bouncy castles, games entertainers, stilt walkers, a marquee tent for activities, a DJ, Build-A-Bear, a first aid tent, a treasure hunt, as well as big BBQ and an ice cream van with spot prizes for all! All of the activities are especially designed and created for the participation of our children, and their families can join in the fun. This special day for our families would cost us over €6,000, but with the in-kind support of many suppliers, this cost is halved.

Rosie & Jim have this year sponsored the cost of this incredible event for us, ensuring the provision of a wonderful day for all the family to enjoy together.

Rosie & Jim are pleased to donate €250 to the annual Portarlington and Killenard Charity Gala Ball The event will be held on Saturday 24 September, with proceeds from the event going to the Midlands Hospice building fund.

The red-carpet event will be held in The Heritage Hotel, Killenard with music by JL Sounds on arrival and later by Transmitter. This year’s special guest of honour is Mountrath native and patron of the Midlands Hospice build campaign Claire Byrne from RTÉ.

The Midlands Hospice, which is planned to be constructed beside Tullamore Hospice, will have 16 beds and will cater for people in the surrounding counties of Laois, Offaly, Westmeath and Longford. Now in its 16th year, the black-tie event has raised more than €120,000 for local charitable organisations, including the Cuisle Centre; Portlaoise Hospital paediatric unit; St Vincent’s Hospital, Mountmellick; The Kolbe Centre, Portlaoise; Laois Slieve Bloom Centre (Irish Wheelchair Association); Portarlington Lourdes Committee; and St Francis School, Portlaoise.

About Newry Helping The Homeless

This group has been formed to highlight the plight of the homeless, not just in Newry but on the island of Ireland as a whole. Reading about the death of ordinary people living on the streets of Belfast has hit home to many of us. " How can this be allowed to happen in this day and age?".  Well we want to try and do a little to help with this problem not just in Newry but in other areas too...

Rosie & Jim are delighted to have donated €500 to Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services for their Christmas Fundraising Campaign helping them to provide care and support to over 4,000 patients at hospices at Harold’s Cross and Blackrock.

As they have seen a 14% decrease in state funding to Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services since 2010, they really need help to support frontline services in both hospices and in patients’ homes, along with projects such as opening a new Hospice and refurbishing Blackrock Hospice.
