    @ THE ROCK 

    The principal activity of the Rock will be the provision of a youth facility at the (former) Church of St Peter, Cheltenham and its adjacent hall. From April 2010 this facility has been available to all young people regardless of background providing both formal and informal activities and opportunities to develop skills, education, welfare and spiritual wellbeing.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers including the Government recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
