ROC solid work under the ethos that everyone is an individual and promote their independence, privacy, choice, dignity, respect and rights.

They operate an Ofsted registered 24/7 service for 16-18-year olds, that are supported in self-contained apartments with on-site support worker intervention. They also offer a community accommodation support service for those aged over 18. These are dispersed properties in local communities.

With support from LandAid, ROC Solid are able to renovate two properties creating 19 new bedspaces.

One property will address the local and regional issue of housing and supporting Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children, while the other will address the need for young people leaving care or who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and who may have additional vulnerabilities.
