✊ Today is the first day of #ESSW2025, running from 24-30 November.
Young people with no parental support often make it to university but paying for their own home and independent living while studying can be extremely challenging.
They need our support.

Last year in Scotland, more than 9,000 young people experienced homelessness.
Every single one of them faced anxiety, fear, and isolation.
At Rock Trust, we believe no young person should ever have to face homelessness alone.
This Christmas, give the gift of coorie - rocktrust.org/cooriein 💙
