I’m part of the Ordnance Survey’s Jump Squad! We are raising valuable funds for Rose Road, our Corporate Charity Partner, by jumping out of a plane. 

Because fundraising has been such a challenge this year, I really want to help as much as I can.  

The Rose Road Association (https://www.roseroad.org.uk/) is full of people working passionately to achieve our vision - a world where disability is not a barrier. They have been doing this since 1952 across Hampshire and surrounding areas, working with children and adults with complex and multiple disabilities and health needs and their families. They become a much needed extended family for many people and they do it with fun and professionalism.

The Association provides a range of services for young disabled people aged 0 - 25, their parents, families and carers. They have experienced staff all of whom have a wide variety of skills, knowledge and expertise. All of their staff undertake a range of training and development programmes and are subject to a Disclosure & Barring Check if working directly with the young people.

They also have a number of transport options with a fleet of modern vehicles and these range from an adapted car for one young disabled person, a modern people carrier for up to three young people through to a full-sized mini bus with all relevant adaptations to ensure children are able to travel in safety and comfort.

In their own words

All their valuable hard work would not have been possible without the generosity of our supporters.
