65 Roses Day 2025 was filled with inspiring moments, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our amazing supporters. We’re thrilled to share that a record number of roses were wrapped, bouquets sold and virtual roses planted. Over the coming weeks, funds raised from the event will be collected and we look forward to sharing a final figure with you. We couldn’t have done it without you! Your overwhelming support, generosity, and enthusiasm have made this event an incredible success, and we are deeply grateful.

Whether you donated, volunteered, spread the word, or sold roses in the community, your involvement made a huge difference. Your efforts have not only helped us reach our fundraising goals but have also raised awareness about the important work we do.
