Corporate Social Responsibility is taken seriously by ROCC.
We believe that an employer should be an active and positive
part of the community it exists with.
ROCC tries to tangibly do things that can make a difference.
Here are just some of them.
- ROCC is a major project sponsor for
The
CUPFINAL Project, run
by
Brighton and Hove Albion’s Football in The Community team,
providing free coaching, facilities, advice and courses for
children living in social housing. See the
RSL Football Inclusion Project
website for
more information. This is a project that improves the lives of
local communities that are struggling to gain access to the
resources more privileged communities enjoy. The ROCC tournament
this year was held at nearby Preston Park run by Brighton and
Hove Albion Football Clubs charitable arm 'Albion
in the Community’. Over 250 youngsters took part in an all day

and helping with the scoring.
