Raising money for

The Rose Road Association

Charity Registration No. 276172

Over the past 55 years, the Rose Road Association has worked with many hundreds of young people from across Hampshire and the south of England. The young people who attend Rose Road have complex and multiple disabilities, requiring a range of specialist care and equipment.

Rose Road also provides support and information and believes passionately in valuing individuals, respecting their choices and celebrating their achievements.

In order to carry out our work the money raised through our fundraising activities makes a vital difference and helps to pay for transport, therapy and all of the other services which are so important, as well as helping our young people to enjoy themselves and have fun!

Change My Life Appeal – supporting families and carers

A year after launching Change My Life we have been able to do so much, providing music therapy sessions and specialist equipment through to wonderful day trips and activity days which otherwise would not have been possible.

We are now setting ourselves a target to raise £500,000 to do more to support not just our young people but also the families and carers of those who attend Rose Road, benefiting from the innovative and creative opportunities we know make a real difference to our school, outreach and respite services.

Caring for a child with complex disabilities can be very challenging and the help and advice provided by the Association is often a lifeline for those who need our support.

My story

Hi everyone

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

You will know by now that I have been 'persuaded' by friends to cycle 550km from London to Paris starting on 9 September. The ride will take four days and I expect it will be tough bearing in mind that I have hardly cycled since I was a lad!

I am up for the challenge as what ever we raise will benefit the Rose Road Association. Please support me to support them.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Rose Road Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Thanks

Phil
