Story

Watch our campaign video

The children who attend St Roses have complex disabilities; they face enormous challenges in communicating, in learning and in mobilising. But in the nurturing environment of the school and residential centre, they learn life skills that enable them to be as independent as they can be. Just like we want all our children to be. After all, independence is just another word for growing up.

Not only do these young people need to be in a safe and loving environment, but those environments need to be uniquely adapted to the challenges they face. Many struggle with loud, echoey spaces, many have visual impairments which means they find it tricky to work out which room they are in. Our lovely Georgian building is cosy, but you can hardly turn todays wheelchairs around in some rooms. Just one reason why we urgently need to redesign our residential facilities.

Thats why were asking for your donations and support for ST ROSES BIG BOUNCE. We aim to start building Quentin House in October 2020. A uniquely special, state of the art home-from-home. All by bouncing!

Quentin House will be so much more than just a house. A place to learn the life skills like cooking, shopping, socialising with friends and yes, even washing up! Skills that will allow the children to be as independent as they can be.

We all know, dream houses cost money and this one will cost £1.5 million. We believe it is worth every penny and we will be able to welcome twice the number of children that we currently can.

The children themselves are taking up the challenge and bouncing every day for ST ROSES BIG BOUNCE. Please sponsor them, either with a one off donation or with a pound a bounce they really are going for gold.

£1 a bounce = 1.5 million bounces!

A donation to St Roses is needed now more than ever - thank you so much for your support.

Join in and bounce!

We would love you to bounce along to raise money too because Every Bounce Counts! You can bounce on a trampoline, bounce on a spacehopper, even a pogo stick. Or, as our patron Eddie the Eagle says, even on your bed!

You can be sponsored per bounce, or by the number of minutes you bounce. And you can put your own dream team and bounce with your buddies.

And dont forget to send us pictures of your own Big Bounce at #strosesbigbounce
