Builder helps the homeless

A HOMELESS service for vulnerable young people has teamed up with housebuilding giant Taylor Wimpey as one of the firm’s chosen charities for 2012.

The Rock Trust aims to support youngsters aged between 14 to 25, to develop the skills necessary to enjoy an independent life, working across Edinburgh, East, Mid and West Lothian.

It provides supported accommodation, tenancy support for young people in their own homes, a crisis centre, nightstop projects and support services for employment and general well-being.
