Cost of Being Young
Campaign by The Rock Trust (RCN SC018708)
There's a cost of being young, but what if you can't afford it?

Story

At Scottish Financial Enterprise, we choose a charity each year to support, culminating in our annual awards evening at the end of October.  This year, we have chosen Rock Trust, who work with over 7,000 16 - 25 year olds in Scotland each year.  While this group make up 13% of the total population in Scotland, they make up 25% of the homeless population.  Whether it is a hot shower, food parcel, helping to secure work or a home, they support some of the most vulnerable young people in our society.  Inclusion is so important to me personally but also our industry here in Scotland and I hope by running the Edinburgh 10k, I can raise some money for the Rock Trust.
