About us
Established in 1991, The Rock Trust works with young people between the age of 16 and 25 who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. This includes young people who are in transitions, leaving care or home and those involved in offending, alcohol or drug misuse. We provide: an emergency advice (duty) service; one to one support at our offices or at the young person’s accommodation; group programmes, employability work, volunteering and work experience & respite places to stay.

Last year, the Rock Trust supported approx. 400 young homeless people. We help them to build better futures. And it all starts with people just like you.
