The Mariella Rose Foundation Fund was established in memory of

Mariella Rose, who tragically died in a road traffic accident in March 2026

age17.

Known for her kindness, infectious enthusiasm and determination to help

others, Mariella was passionate about ensuring that young people with

dyslexia could access the support and opportunities they deserved.

A simple belief: with the right support, “impossible” can become “I’m

possible”.

What We Want to Achieve

Through fundraising and community support, we will:

💛 Remove financial barriers to diagnosis – Provide grants towards

professional dyslexia assessments for young people from low-income

families, where costs of £500–£600 can make diagnosis inaccessible.

💛 Build confidence and connections – Develop the Mariella Meet-Ups,

welcoming spaces where young people can share experiences, develop

friendships and celebrate their strengths.

💛 Provide mentoring and guidance – Help young people navigate

education, training and employment, develop confidence and achieve

their ambitions.

💛 Challenge stigma and improve understanding – Work with education

providers, employers and communities to raise awareness, remove

barriers and create more inclusive environments.

💛 Recognise and celebrate achievement – Through the Mariella Rose

Rising Star Award, celebrate young people who demonstrate kindness,

courage, determination and a positive impact on others.

How Your Donation Will Help

Every donation will help us create opportunities for young people,

whether contributing towards a life-changing dyslexia assessment,

helping a young person access mentoring or supporting activities that

build confidence and friendships, your generosity can make a real

difference.

Be More Mariella. 💛
