Redeeming Our Communities Information

Redeeming our communities is a national charity founded in 2004 with over 350 projects across the UK. ROC’s main aim is to bring about community transformation by creating strategic partnerships between statutory agencies, volunteer groups and churches. These partnerships form new volunteer-led projects that address a variety of social needs. This partnership approach has seen huge improvements to community wellbeing including support for families, the alleviation of loneliness and isolation many elderly people face, crime and anti-social behaviour reduction and improved opportunities and fresh hope for young people. ROC brings together community groups, churches, the police, the fire service, local authorities and voluntary agencies to encourage them to work together in positive partnerships for practical ‘on the ground’ change. As a result, statutory agencies have improved access to the support of community groups, and thousands of volunteers are enabled to better serve the needs of their community.
