Alexandra Rose Charities (UK, 211535) Browse events

Alexandra Rose Charities works for small charities, helping them to raise money. The charity was created by Queen Alexandra in 1912 and for almost a hundred years now, has been successfully helping some of the most vulnerable groups throughout the UK in their fundraising efforts. Small charities are finding it increasingly difficult to raise funds for the vital work that they do as they are always in competition with the large well-known charities, ever changing technology and decreased local government funding. Thanks to our 99 years of experieince we can offer them a unique, risk free way to do just that. The charities we support are ‘people caring’. This embraces a huge number of causes spread all over Britain that help the very young, the old, the terminally ill, the lonely, disadvantaged and bereaved.  From the first Alexandra Rose Day in June 1912, where ten thousand ladies sold wild roses in the streets of London - to 2010 when over 300 collections were organised up and down the country, in streets, stations and supermarkets - the tradition continues. We offer several ways to help, through our National Rose Day collections and the annual Rose Raffle. We make all the arrangements from the permits through to the supply of equipment to enable our small charities and voluntary groups in the UK to participate in as many collections as possible. Monies collected stay locally.  In addition, every year we offer our charities the opportunity to apply for a grant from our Special Appeal Fund. This can be up to £1000.00 for a specific Project and up to £500 for Core Costs. Grants last year included  respite breaks for carers, visiting services to families of children with cerebral palsy, T-shirts for young dance groups in deprived areas, boat trips for special needs children, family and baby group project to support vulnerable families, minibuses for the elderly and disabled, day trip to National Arboretum for Old Comrades Association and the list goes on.
