Young People Help Shape National Discussion on Opportunity During Alan Milburn Visit to South Yorkshire Visit by Rt Hon Alan Milburn to Sheffield Futures to find out about the South Yorkshire NHS Health and Growth Accelerator Peer Connector Service On Friday 31st July, the Rt Hon Alan Milburn visited Sheffield to hear first-hand how NHS South Yorkshire's Peer Connector Service is supporting young people to overcome barriers to education, employment and training through personalised, relationship-based support. The visit provided an opportunity for young people and delivery partners to share their experiences and demonstrate how early intervention, peer support and partnership working are helping young people to build confidence, improve wellbeing and achieve their aspirations. The Peer Connector service supports young people aged 16-24 who may be experiencing challenges with their mental health and neurodiverse needs that affect their ability to participate in education, employment or training. The programme forms part of South Yorkshire's wider Health and Growth Accelerator work and demonstrates how health, education, employment and voluntary sector partners can work together to improve outcomes for young people. Rt Hon Alan Milburn is leading an independent national review into the increasing number of young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). The visit enabled young people to influence future national policy development and showcase a South Yorkshire model that is already delivering positive outcomes. The service is delivered through a unique partnership approach across South Yorkshire: Sheffield Futures (Lead Coordinater) Chilypep (Barnsley) People Focused Group (Doncaster) Children and Families Consortium and Rush House (Rotherham) Autism Plus and Speak Up delivering Positive Futures services across South Yorkshire Together, partners are providing tailored support to young people across all four South Yorkshire places.
https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/helprushgivethegiftofagreenspace We believe every young person deserves a safe, welcoming environment where they can relax, connect, and thrive. We are launching a fundraising campaign to raise £1,500 to transform a plain concrete area into a beautiful garden space for the care- experienced young people we support. We want to replace cold concrete with vibrant flowers, comfortable seating, greenery, and a peaceful outdoor area where young people can unwind, socialize, learn new skills, and enjoy nature. Many of the young people we support have faced significant challenges in their lives. Having access to a calming outdoor environment can make a real difference to their mental health, confidence, and overall wellbeing. 💚 Our Goal: £1,500 Your donation will help fund: Plants, flowers, and shrubs Decking area Outdoor seating Decorative features to create a welcoming environment No donation is too small. Every pound brings us one step closer to creating a space that our young people can be proud of and enjoy for years to come. 🌿 How You Can Help ✅ Donate whatever you can ✅ Share this post with friends, family, and local businesses ✅ Help us spread the word 🏢 Local businesses can also support this project by donating goods in kind. Contributions such as outdoor furniture would make a huge difference and help us maximise every pound raised. Together, we can turn a neglected concrete area into a thriving garden that nurtures hope, wellbeing, and opportunity.

🎉 Last week, our team had the pleasure of attending Rotherham Safe Space's 2nd Anniversary Celebration! 🎉 George from our Peer Connector Service and Mary Ann, our Employment, Education and Training (EET) Coach, joined the event to learn more about the incredible work Rotherham Safe Space delivers within the community. The afternoon provided a great opportunity to connect with other local organisations, reflect on the impact Safe Space has made over the past two years, and celebrate everything that has been achieved since its opening. We also enjoyed a speech from Councillor Haroon Rashid (Rotherham Mayor), followed by a powerful and moving testimony from a current service user. The afternoon concluded with a fantastic poem that had the whole room laughing, a wonderful reminder of the resilience, talent and humour within our community. Congratulations to everyone at Rotherham Safe Space on this incredible milestone. Here's to many more years of making a difference! 💙 #Rotherham #CommunityPartnerships #MakingADifference #PeerSupport #RotherhamSafeSpace #RushHouseLtd
