Rose Charities UK  (Rose Rehabilitation Trust U.K. REG.CHARITY 1091164)  is an independent registered UK Charity but part of the international Rose Charities network.  Founded in 1999 it follows the Rose Charities  policy of both supporting Rose Charities field projects in Africa, Asia and the Americas as well as other causes and organizations consistent with its aims and and goals.                                                                                                                                                                       

The main focus of Rose Charities UK is in all aspects of rehabilitation and is a strong supporter of the Rose Charities projects in these areas (Madagascar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam etc).  The organizers of Rose Charities UK are aware of the enormous burden of disability experienced by  10%-12% of the worlds population, over 600 million people, and its impact on all levels from personal to economic.  In addition

 Rose Charities UK strongly supports the the main foundation  of the Rose Charities network, that projects should be transparent, cost effective, and focused on individuals and their communities with needs preferably identified   though a process of local cooperation.  The network was largely founded by ex field workers, disillusioned with the waste and lack of community consultation and consideration seen so often in the ‘aid industry’.  Our belief is that is far more functional to work with communities and individuals directly and at their level, than to attempt large ‘blanket projects’ covering  great areas.  

Rose Charities other founding principle  is that good assistance and cooperation provides benefits in both directions ; to the implementer and the recipient.  The sense of worth,  fulfillment, the friendships and new links formed with peoples the world over, easily match or exceed the benefits for the recipients.    Giving and receiving are essentially the same processes and each are to be treasured.

 

Rose Charities UK is run by a board of six trustees and is based in Sevenoaks, Kent. 

The board all have considerable experience in overseas project and/or  organization administration  in the UK and also  include  professionals in the medical, accountancy and legal professions.

Denis Dronjic' s walked to Santiago for Rose Charities UK.    Thank you Denis..!                       

."The collision with the vehicle was so severe that I was thought to be dead by all the bystanders since they literally had to lift the car off my body with their bare hands. After I was revived back to life, I was rushed to hospital in critical condition. A dislocated hip like I was dancing salsa on a deserted island hanging of the coast of Spain; broken right femur; broken right head of tibia, connecting into my right knee; broken right and left fibula; broken left tibia (open fracture with more the 3 cm of bone missing); broken left ankle; broken scapula; and last but not least, like all of this wasn’t enough-- internal bleeding in the frontal lobe of my brain. Besides the road rash, I think that is the complete list of the injuries I sustained in this horrific accident."
