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.
One of our main goals here at RUSH is to provide easy access and encourage our service users to engage in all Learning and Development opportunities, activities and education or employment. Our office is staffed 24/7 with support workers and each service user has a dedicated key worker who supports them in all day to day areas of their development.
Do you have opportunities within your business for work experience, placements, or employment, now or in the future? We’re hoping to connect with local employers throughout the year to build meaningful relationships, even if: • You don’t have an opportunity available right now • We don’t currently have the right person to match By getting to know each other early, we can work together when the timing is right. We’re keen to collaborate with employers open to: ✔ Work experience placements ✔ Entry-level roles ✔ Flexible or supported opportunities In return, we provide preparation, ongoing support, and a dedicated point of contact, helping make the experience positive for both the person and your business. If you believe in potential over perfection and would like to start a conversation, we’d love to hear from you. 📩 Message us directly #Rotherham #Opportunity #Motivation #Aspirations

In 2025, our accommodation services continued to support young people to take their next steps towards stability and independence. 🏠 27 new residents were welcomed into our bedsits through our RMBC contract 🏘️ 25 new residents moved into our dispersed properties across the community Moving on, moving forward: 10 residents moved into their own accommodation 10 progressed into dispersed housing in the community Others moved on to live with family or friends, relocate to new areas, or step into more independent accommodation Every number represents a young person rebuilding their future, and we’re proud to be part of that journey. #HousingForAll #proud #Rotherham #NewBeginnings

Following on from yesterday’s reflection on our projects, today we’re taking a moment to celebrate Brighter Futures and the impact made in 2025. It’s the end of a chapter that spans 6 incredible years, including a successful 3 year continuation of previous funding. And what a way to close it. In 2025 alone: 102 referrals were made to Brighter Futures 64 individuals engaged with tailored support 44 AQAs were completed 35 people returned to education or training 19 secured employment, with 4 progressing into apprenticeships 2 went on to volunteer, giving back to their community 28 people received work-related financial support 60 felt their basic skills had improved 32 people reported improved mental health Brighter Futures has never been just about outcomes; it’s been about trust, stability and long-term support, giving people the time and space they need to move forward at their own pace. 🌠 We are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund for believing in this project and in the power of sustained, person-centred support. #EET #Employment #Proud #Rotherham #Support #Progress
As we step into the new year, we’re taking a moment to look back. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some of our key achievements and reflections from 2025, celebrating the progress, the people, and the impact made along the way. One highlight we’re incredibly proud of is our pre-tenancy training programme, A Place of Your Own. In 2025, the programme received 612 referrals, with 385 individuals successfully supported to complete the training! These numbers represent more than statistics, they represent people gaining the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to sustain a home and move forward positively.
