Rosie’s Trust Christmas Appeal 2026
For many of us, Christmas is a time for family, love and togetherness. But for someone facing serious illness, disability or the challenges of end-of-life care, it can also be a time of worry and uncertainty.
When life becomes difficult, the unconditional love and companionship of a much-loved pet can mean everything.
At Rosie’s Trust, we believe no one should have to face the heartbreak of being separated from their pet simply because they are unable to care for them.
Our wonderful volunteers provide practical support including dog walking, feeding, litter cleaning, transport to veterinary appointments and short-term fostering during hospital stays. This support helps people and their pets remain together when they need each other most.
Our Christmas fundraising target is £10,000, and we need your help to reach it!

This video was made possible thanks to funding from Macmillan Cancer Support. Special thanks also to Scholesy and Michael from Glen & Craig Canine Training Company for their wonderful support and for helping us capture these special moments with the amazing Scholesy, and to Wild River Dog Park for kindly providing the filming location.
Every donation, big or small, will help Rosie’s Trust continue caring for people by caring for their pets across Northern Ireland.
