The children who attend St Roses have complex disabilities; they face enormous challenges in communicating, in learning and in mobilising. But in the nurturing environment of the school and residential centre, they learn life skills that enable them to be as independent as they can be. Just like we want all our children to be. After all, independence is just another word for growing up. Not only do these young people need to be in a safe and loving environment, but those environments need to be uniquely adapted to the challenges they face. Many struggle with loud, echoey spaces, many have visual impairments which means they find it tricky to work out which room they are in. Our lovely Georgian building is cosy, but you can hardly turn todays wheelchairs around in some rooms. Just one reason why we urgently need to redesign our residential facilities. Thats why I'm asking for your donations and support for  to support Sheila's Big Bounce.
