As one of Northern Ireland’s leading family-owned businesses, Ulster Carpets has pledged its support for Rosie’s Trust with a grant for the next three years.
With Rosie’s Trust marking ten years of caring for people by caring for their pets, the charity is delighted to welcome Ulster Carpets as its newest corporate partner.
The generous funding will enable the charity to provide its support services to those undergoing cancer treatment, receiving end of life care, and older people with mobility issues.
Through its dedicated 200+ volunteers, Rosie’s Trust is able to offer a much-needed helping hand to beneficiaries, 365 days a year, to allow their pet to remain at home and by their side when they need them the most – which can include everything from feeding and dog walks to vet visits and foster care.
The new partnership is in line with Ulster Carpets’ ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, and the organisations working across Northern Ireland to help and improve them.
As a direct result of the funding, Rosie’s Trust will be able to reach more people and their pets. The partnership will also include staff involvement and promotion of Rosie’s Trust services across Ulster Carpet’s channels.
Ulster Carpets Managing Director, Nick Coburn, said:
“Rosie’s Trust is a truly inspiring local charity that makes a real difference to the lives of people and their much-loved pets.
“At Ulster Carpets, we are passionate about giving back to the community, and we are proud to support an organisation that shares our values of care, compassion and commitment.
“We look forward to working together with the Rosie’s Trust staff and volunteers in the years ahead.”
Rosie’s Trust relies entirely on donations, funding, and the efforts of its dedicated volunteers. CEO, Dr Catriona Mac Arthur, added:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Ulster Carpets as our newest corporate partner, as we celebrate our charity’s tenth anniversary throughout 2025.
“Their generous support, assured for the next three years, will allow us to reach more people who need our services to ensure that they don’t have to face giving up their pet when they need them most.
“This partnership demonstrates what can be achieved when local businesses support local charities, and we are very grateful to Ulster Carpets for their commitment to us.”
