We know, we know... it's only October. 🎃 Halloween hasn't even been yet and we're already talking about Christmas. Sorry. 😅 The reality is that Christmas can be a difficult time for many of the young people we support. While it's a time of celebration for some, for others it can bring added worries, loneliness and financial pressure. That's why we're starting early. We've put together 5 simple ways you can support Rush this Christmas. Whether it's donating a gift, sharing our campaign, fundraising, making a donation or helping us spread the word, every bit of support helps us make the festive season a little brighter for young people across Rotherham. ❤️
💙 Great news for supported housing residents! New rules mean people living in supported housing and temporary accommodation will be able to keep more of what they earn when they start work or increase their hours. Our CEO Rachael Wilson said :At Rush House Ltd, we see the hard work, ambition, and determination of our residents every day. Everyone deserves to be rewarded for taking positive steps towards employment and independence, not penalised for it. This is a welcome change that will help remove barriers, increase financial stability, and give people greater confidence to build brighter futures. #SupportedHousing #RushHouseLtd #WorkPays #FinancialIndependence #EmploymentSupport #PositiveChange #SocialImpact 💙
Black History Month 2026 Throughout October, Rush House will be observing and celebrating Black History Month 2026. This year's theme, "Honouring Our Communities," recognises the people, places and everyday contributions that help to shape and strengthen communities across the UK. At Rush, we see first-hand the value of community every day. Whether it's supporting people through challenges, helping them build brighter futures, or creating opportunities for people to connect and thrive, community is at the heart of everything we do. Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements, contributions and influence of Black individuals and communities, while also reflecting on the importance of equality, inclusion and understanding throughout the year.
Some of our young people have recently been working on their Tree of Life AQA 🌳 Recently, our Peer Connector Service has supported young people to complete the Tree of Life AQA. Working through this AQA allowed our young people to reflect on their lived experiences, skills and abilities. These sessions fit perfectly alongside the work that our fantastic Peer Connectors do to support young people with their growth, development and confidence.

As promised, here's a look at the fantastic baking our young people and Life Skills team made for our Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning. 🧁 There was plenty of mixing, decorating and taste-testing involved, and the young people worked really hard to create some amazing treats. Thankfully, they tasted just as good as they looked! It was also a great opportunity for young people and staff to spend time together, build relationships and enjoy a shared activity while raising money for such an important cause.
