The charity Amber exists to help young people transform their lives.

It offers youngsters, who are going nowhere, a fresh start: a chance to sort out their problems in a safe and supportive environment and gain the confidence and skills for work and independent living.

Their overall success rate is more than 80%. This includes 43% of Amberteers into employment. Others leave to college or volunteering roles. They are all equipped with independent living skills.

Amber Works! Since 1995, it has helped over 2,300 young people turn things around… let’s help make it many more soon.

There’s something about the Amber story that fits so well with Amber Rocks. How wonderful, when a group of like-minded people come together for really enjoyable evenings… together raising over £1m so far. And that rocks for Amber, and the Amberteers who spend time in their three centres; allowing difficult beginnings to come good; problems to get sorted; lives to change direction. That’s the power of Rock ‘n’ Roll for you!

If you’re reading this, chances are that you’ve been one of the lucky ones in life. But not everyone is so fortunate. Family breakdown, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health issues, gang culture, sexual exploitation, crime – the list goes on. Who would you have turned to if your life had spiralled out of control and there was no one to offer guidance and support? For those in real trouble, Amber offers a route off the street and back into the mainstream.
