Concrete Rose is a Community Interest Company (“CIC”) with a Christian ethos and a determination to both deliver, and equip others to provide, first-class care and support for the most vulnerable young people.  This encompasses a desire to see a values-driven, therapeutic approach at the forefront of services for young people.

Presently, Concrete Rose delivers two programmes:

1. Supported lodgings:  Our supported lodgings scheme provides accommodation for vulnerable young people aged 16-23 (including care leavers, those at risk of homelessness, unaccompanied asylum seekers and young parents).  These are nurturing places, in host homes, that include exceptional levels of wrap-around support (for hosts and young people). 

2. University mentoring: In partnership with the Widening Participation Team at Cambridge University, (and in response to student voices), we deliver a mentoring scheme for students who are care-experienced and/or estranged from family.  Mentors act in a voluntary capacity providing pastoral care, support, advice and guidance to students via one-to-one sessions.
