As ESPC’s chosen charity partner, Rock Trust is an organisation whose work closely reflects the importance of safe, secure places to call home. Rock Trust is Scotland’s leading youth homelessness charity, which supports young people who are experiencing, or are at major risk of homelessness, helping them to build brighter and more stable futures.
We are proud to support Rock Trust because we believe everyone should have the opportunity to have a place they can call home. Our ongoing partnership helps raise awareness of the challenges young people facing homelessness can experience, while also encouraging donations that make a real difference to the support Rock Trust can provide.
These donations fund valuable services including the Therapy & Wellbeing service, which allows young people to access art therapy, wellbeing sessions, creative groups and workshops, providing a safe and confidential space that can feel transformative, among many other services which help to improve the lives of young people at risk of homelessness.
Donations raised through ESPC's charity partnership with Rock Trust also help to support services that offer vital mental health support, as well as providing grants and accommodation to those in need. Fundraising plays an essential role in helping Rock Trust to develop and continue its lifechanging services for those it supports.
By donating, you can help us support Rock Trust services, ensuring more young people have access to the care, confidence and connection they need to move towards a more secure future. We have a range of fundraising opportunities throughout the year, as our staff take on a number of challenges, such as Fire Walks and marathons, and at our Property Lounge on George Street, you’ll find a donation hub where you can drop off vital supplies such as long-life food, essential toiletries and treats which are donated directly to the young people Rock Trust supports.
The new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, pledged on his first day in office to end homelessness, and while we fervently hope that this can be achieved quickly, those who are in need of support, need it today. Please consider donating if you are able to help Rock Trust and their young people today, tomorrow and every day that follows, until homelessness is no longer an issue.
