Merry Christmas from Rosie’s Trust!

At Rosie’s Trust, we support people and their pets 365 days a year, thanks to the dedication of over 200 volunteers. However, the office is closed for non-urgent enquiries from Tuesday 24th December – Monday 6th January.

This festive season, our services will be running on Christmas Day – just like every other day of the year!

However, the Rosie’s Trust office will be closed for all non-urgent enquiries from Christmas Eve through to Monday 6th January, 2025.

The staff team will continue to answer questions and queries from the people we support, and our volunteers who will be donating their time over the holidays.

On behalf of Rosie’s Trust, Operations Manager, Jayne McStay, said:

“A special thank-you must go to our volunteers who will be out and about supporting people and their pets over the holidays, including on Christmas Day.

“Over the past year, our 215 volunteers have given 10,463 hours of their time to our charity. We are very grateful for this support, and our work would not be possible without this incredible generosity.

“We are currently supporting 53 people and 61 pets, and any donations over the festive season are particularly welcomed to ensure we can continue to provide our free-of-charge services.”

Any wider enquiries that Rosie’s Trust receives when the office is closed will be answered as soon as possible when the team return to their desks.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy 2025 from the Rosie’s Trust team!

Rosie’s Trust office will close on Tuesday 24th December, and reopen on Monday 6th January.

Providing at home support for your pets and you

Rosie’s Trust is a lifeline to me and Chanel-Angel. Our volunteers are fantastic and we really look forward to their visits and Chanel-Angel loves her walks with them.

Why Support Us?

With your support we can be there for people and their pets.

All animal lovers know the joy that their pets’ companionship and unconditional love bring to their lives.

 

But imagine receiving a cancer diagnosis and facing the harsh reality of not being able to provide your pet with the care and attention they deserve.

 

Rosie’s Trust was set up to help people undergoing cancer treatment with the practical elements of pet care so they don’t have to make the difficult decision to give up a much loved companion just when they need them the most.

 

We have expanded our services to include people with cancer, those receiving end of life care and older people with mobility issues affecting their ability to care for their companion pet.

 

The people we help rely on their pets for companionship. Many don’t have family living nearby or are isolated in their local community. Their pets are their reason for getting up each day.

 

Our mission is to protect the special bond between people and their pets.

“I know personally how devastating a terminal illness can be to the whole family. However, when that person is single and their pets are their lives, then this takes on a whole new dimension. Knowing that their pet is being regularly cared for is a weight off their shoulders.”

“When I became ill, I was very worried that I wasn’t going to be able to look after Todd as I just couldn’t take him for his walks. I was delighted when I was put in contact with Rosie’s Trust who have been an absolute blessing.”

At Rosie’s Trust our mission is to preserve and protect the special relationship between people and their companion pets. We will do this when that relationship is at risk due to the person receiving a terminal diagnosis, when an older person is living with a disability, or when someone is being treated for cancer.
