Rock Trust was set up in 1991 by the West End Council of Churches in Edinburgh who wanted to do something practical for homeless young people. The holistic approach that is central to the ethos of Rock Trust comes very much from that beginning, and the values remain. Rock Trust has always believed that homelessness is more than rooflessness and that young people need to learn social and practical skills to be active participating members of their community and society. We work with young people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, this includes young people who are in transitions, do not have sufficient support systems, are leaving care or home, those involved in offending, alcohol or drug misuse. Our role is to advise, educate and support young people to enable them to build the personal skills and resources required to make a positive and healthy transition to adulthood whilst avoiding or moving on from homelessness.
