What does the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation do?
THE couple have set up the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation to help children in need.
It aims to give under-privileged kids advice on nutrition, education and experience.
Rose said: This program is very close to our hearts because Kate and I know Blessings in a Backpack fills a crucial void for children who might otherwise go hungry. I cant expect to play good golf if Im not properly nourished so how can we expect kids to go a full weekend with out enough to eat and then be able to focus on learning the next school week."

THE pair have two children together.
Kate had Leo first in 2009 before Lottie followed in 2012.
