ROCSOLID is a Newton Aycliffe charity which helps vulnerable young people, including care leavers to learn the skills they need to live independently.
The young people all receive one-on-one support each week from their key worker and they are all encouraged to be in some sort of training, education or, if they are very fortunate, employment. It’s true to say that our young people are among the most disadvantaged in the area and that life has given them some significant knocks.
Fourteen amazing volunteers, staff, young people who reside at Rocsolid and local beat officers are taking up the Hadrians Walk Challenge on 5, 6 and 7 August this year. This involves a gruelling hike along Hadrians Wall in Northumberland.
All the money raised towards confidence-building activity breaks for our young people, some of whom have never been out of an urban environment. We want to take them to rural outward bound centres to do team building activities and learn important things about themselves by overcoming personal challenges.
We are asking local people and businesses to support this event. Sponsor the team /make donations either by sending cheques to the address below or by visiting justgiving.com/rocsolidltd
