Rose Road makes a positive difference to the lives of young people with disabilities

The Rose Road Association is a charity that provides services for over 300 children and young adults with severe physical disabilities, learning difficulties, and/or autism.

We are based in Southampton in the UK, and also work across Hampshire and surrounding counties.

Your donations make a huge difference

We need to raise £500,000 each year just to keep our services running, and much of this comes from individuals making donations and leaving us gifts in wills.

Rose Road provides support and services to families

At the heart of our operations is the Bradbury Centre which is a safe and welcoming space for children and young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

We also offer 24-hour respite care, as well as a range of activities to suit the tastes and abilities of the children and young adults in our care.
