We're proud of the support and engagement we offer the young people here at RUSH, its through support like yours that enables us to do what we do and engage with our young people in the most positive way. Outdoor activities are just one of our chosen ways to let the young people here at RUSH let off some stream, enjoy the great outdoors and learn new exciting skills.
A productive morning was had earlier last week discussing volunteering⭐ Emily from Voluntary Action Rotherham visited to discuss volunteering within the Family Hubs with one of the clients on our Pathways to Work programme and their coach. Emily supported our client by discussing opportunities, informing them what a typical volunteering day may look like and discussing obtaining a DBS and Safeguarding training. Volunteering is a fantastic way to build confidence and existing skills whilst supporting your community/a cause that you are passionate about. #Volunteering #Rotherham #VAR #Education #Training
This week we were delighted to welcome South Yorkshire's Deputy Mayor for Policing & Crime - Kilvinder Vigurs to Rush to tell her more about the work we do at Rush to support young and vulnerable people in Rotherham and to learn more about the work she is doing in her role as Deputy SYMCA Mayor. Many ideas and opportunities were discussed, and it was great to see her passion and commitment to the role and the people of South Yorkshire. We look forward to future meetings , working together to create Happy Healthy and Safe communities.
Yesterday some of our team headed down to IFest hosted by Landmarks Specialist College. 🎓 The event gave young people the opportunity to engage with organisations such as ourselves and discuss the support that is available to help them achieve whatever goals they have for the future. It was great to meet the young people and other brilliant organisations within our community. 💚 #Support #Rotherham #Community #Education #Goals
✨ Pipers Poetry Corner ✨ One of our talented residents recently took part in a creative writing activity and was given the theme “New Year / Fresh Starts.” What they produced was this fantastic poem, thoughtful, hopeful, and full of reflection. Poetry can be a powerful way for young people to express their emotions, process change, and look forward with optimism. We’re incredibly proud of Piper for sharing their voice and creativity with us. #Creativity #Expression #Hopeful #Rotherham
Our Outreach Team has been busy out in the community, supporting someone who is currently without a home to ensure they are safe and connected to the right help. Working closely alongside local PCSOs and RMBC Homeless Team, the team has helped make referrals into key support organisations and ensured individuals aren’t facing things alone. We’re really proud to have received such positive feedback from RMBC about the work being done, partnership working at its best 🤝 Alongside this, our team has recently supported several people to secure accommodation during the winter months, helping them move off the streets and into safer, more stable housing when it’s needed most. You’ll continue to see our Outreach Team out and about across Rotherham, easily recognisable in their Rush Outreach jackets, offering support, advice and a friendly face to those who need it most. Thank you to South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit, RMBC and The Safer Rotherham Partnership. #supportlocal #Rotherham #Housing #Community #Support
