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.
Working Together to Support Young People Across Rotherham π‘ Steve, our Project Manager Supported Housing and Registered Service Manager, and Dave, our Tenancy Skills Coach, recently attended the RMBC 16-25 Years Supported Accommodation Provider Event. During the event, they presented on the work of Rush House, sharing how we support young people to achieve stability, independence and positive futures. They also showcased A Place of Your Own, our online pre-tenancy training programme, which equips young people with the knowledge and practical skills needed to successfully manage their own tenancy. The event provided a valuable opportunity to connect with local providers, share best practice and strengthen partnerships that help improve outcomes for young people across Rotherham. Thank you to everyone involved in organising such an insightful event. https://aplaceofyourown.co.uk/ Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Always An Alternative
EET sessions at Rotherham West Community Connections CIC (formerly Steel City CIC). Recently, our EET coach has been running sessions where local residents can drop in for advice on all things employment, education and training. Whether it was creating CV's or applying for new roles, each conversation was filled with positivity. It was fantastic to meet the people in attendance for advice. It is clear that the team behind Rotherham West Community Connections have such a passion for supporting the community! We received such positive feedback from the session with one attendee quoting ''Mary Ann made me feel so good about myself and the skills that I have''. We are grateful for being welcomed into the space and can't wait for the sessions to continue. π
A souvenir all the way from Thailand. π One of our lovely support work team members recently returned from their travels with keychains and snacks to taste test with our residents at Rush. As jealous as we are, it's great to know that the team are still thinking of our residents whilst being thousands of miles away!
A huge congratulations to our latest group of young people who have successfully completed our Personal Development Programme, delivered in partnership between RUSH and Rotherham Titans Community Trust! We couldn't be prouder of everything they have achieved throughout the programme. Over the past weeks, they've challenged themselves, developed new skills, and grown in confidence while exploring important topics including healthy relationships, drug awareness, and recycling. One of the standout achievements was organising their own charity event, demonstrating fantastic teamwork, creativity, and commitment to making a positive difference in their community. Well done to every young person who took partβyou should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. We can't wait to see what you achieve next!
This morning we want to shout out our incredible maintenance team! They have worked tirelessly to improve this garden at one of our properties to ensure that our residents are able to have a lovely garden space to enjoy. π³π³ While some roles are more visible, every member of the Rush team plays a vital part in creating safe, welcoming spaces for our residents. Thank you to our maintenance team for everything they do behind the scenes. They may not always get their flowers, but they've certainly earned them (pun intended).
