Events at The Rock Trust
Events are an important way for The Rock Trust to meet supporters, spread the word of our work and of course to help raise the vital funds which allow us to undertake our work.
As well as joining us for our own events its quite possible for supporters to develop their own events and we are always happy to offer any advise or support around this. Other national events will also allow you to chose which charity you wish to benefit from your efforts - and we would be delighted if you chose us.
Over the next 12 months The Rock Trust will be running the following events:

Edinburgh Marathon: Why not test yourself against some of the worlds finest runners. You can register to run the whole marathon (just over 26 miles) or as part of a relay team (of up to 4 runners). This event really is a challenge by anyones standards and a great New Years resolution! The Trust will pay for running spaces and provide an event running shirt to each partipant. A minimum sponsorship target is set for each full space.
November – December 2009
Ethical Christmas Gift: If your friends and family have everything they need and inspiration is in short supply, why not purchase a gift for one of our young people – on their behalf. We will send you a greetings card with a message inside thanking them for the gift.
Sponsored Sleepout
Join us for a night under the stars at St Andrews and St Georges Church at the west end of George Street Edinburgh.
This it the Trusts longest running event which gives supporters a great chance to make a stand (or should that be sleep) against youth homelessness.
Hot drinks and snacks available all night in the cafe under the church and we will send all participant off in the morning with a warm bacon or cheese roll. Toilet facilities are also available through the night.
Developing Your Own Fundraising Event
If you have your own fundraising ideas which you would like to pursue to help support us we would be delighted to hear from you. We will always try to support your efforts as far as we can - which could involve helping provide volunteers, help with organisation or publicity e.g. through out newsletter.
We have put a A-Z of fundraising ideas together which may help to inspire you!
