Supporting independent living

Rosendael is situated in Broughty Ferry, Dundee and was gifted to the Charity in 1932, together with an endowment of £5000, by Miss J C Gibson in memory of her brother, Mr John Normansell Kyd, who lost his son Frank Proctor Kyd on the Somme in 1916, and whose home it used to be. The name Rosendael is Flemish, as the Kyd's manufactured jute in Belgium, an industry closely connected with the City of Dundee. They returned to Dundee and in 1868 constructed Rosendael as their town house. Today Rosendael is home to 54 veterans.

In 2002 we upgraded the Dalhousie accommodation to create eight en-suite rooms. In 2003 we began the redevelopment of the Keays block upgrading the 20 rooms to fully en-suite. Plans are also being drawn up to develop the top floor of the main house to create single flats for couples.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. After all with no Government funding who can we turn to? By helping SVR you will be making a valuable difference to the lives of so many and you can be assured that your gift large or small will be used to benefit our veterans.
