If you have a spare room and a heart to support young people why not become a host in our ‘Room to spare’ (supported lodgings) initiative. You’ll receive a comprehensive induction and training package, on-call, 24/7, support from the Concrete Rose core team and a weekly remittance to cover any additional costs. For more information check out our dedicated page here.

Concrete Rose provides volunteer mentors local university students who are care experienced and/or estranged from their families and to young people accommodated in our supported lodgings initiative (see here). All our mentors receive thorough training and on-going support and the opportunity to meet together. Find out more here.

We have plenty of opportunities to volunteer and contribute to the core functioning and strategic direction of the organisation.  Our Policy, Partnerships and Development Team (or in-house ‘think tank’) helps inform our work and deliver innovative solutions to entrenched problems. You can find our more about this team and the other vacancies that are available here.

We are always looking to partner with local businesses both to raise funds and particularly to improve the skills, experiences and outcomes of the young people we support by providing training and work experience opportunities. If you are interested in becoming a corporate partner get in touch using our contact form.

Our work, and particularly the significant wrap-around support available to young people, relies on the generosity of others including businesses, trusts, grant funders, churches, and individuals. For more information on the ways to give to Concrete Rose please get in touch via info@concreterose.co.uk.

We have opportunities to invest, donate or lease property and enable more young people to find safe accommodation. When it comes to investors we are able to generate a return on the investment (annually or at the end of an investment period) with significant, and positive, impacts on young people leaving care.
