Rosie's Trust

Founded in 2015, Rosie’s Trust is the only charity in Northern Ireland dedicated to helping cancer patients, people receiving end of life care and older people with mobility issues to keep their companion pets by their side.

For people who are isolated, lonely and vulnerable, their pets are often their reason to live. They act as their family, their carer, their companion and their best friend. They give comfort and unconditional love, and a reason to get up in the morning.

But when these people find themselves in difficult circumstances, be it going through cancer treatment, or dealing with illness and mobility issues, they can find it difficult to continue caring for their pets. This means that in their lowest moments, when they need them the most, people are forced to give up their pets. They’re forced to give up their best friends, their family, and their reason to live. At Rosie’s Trust, we prevent this from happening.
