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, Afghanistan, 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.

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.
