AFC Totton
Highlighted charity for the match: AFC Totton vs Torquay United - 20/12/25
This Christmas, your kindness can make a life-changing difference to disabled children, young people, and their families.
At Rose Road Association, we support families when they need it most, offering specialist respite care, therapies, and a safe, welcoming environment where children and young people with complex needs can thrive.
For many families, Rose Road is more than a service. It is a lifeline.
“It’s overwhelming as a mum, knowing what they go through. As their needs have become more complex, Rose Road have been there all the way. I’d feel so sorry for them if we no longer had this support.”
— Darcey and Eden’s mum
Who We Are
Rose Road Association is a Southampton-based charity, established in 1952, with over 70 years of experience supporting disabled children and young people.
We provide direct respite care services for children and young people with complex physical and learning disabilities, as well as vital support for their families. Our work gives parents and carers the chance to rest, reset, and continue caring, knowing their children are safe, supported, and happy.
Why Your Support Matters
The demand for our services continues to grow, and the costs of delivering high-quality, specialist care are significant.
Your donation helps us provide:
-
£577 – one emergency bed-night at our respite centre
-
£20,000 per year – essential hydrotherapy sessions
-
£200 per week – music therapy that supports communication, wellbeing, and joy
Every contribution helps us deliver care that changes lives — not just today, but for the long term.
As one parent shared:
“Rose Road allows us to press the reset button to carry on. I can’t thank the staff enough, it’s been a godsend.”
