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.
Carrying on with our series of poems from our talented Piper, we’re sharing one inspired by the recent Mother’s Day. We know this time of year can mean different things for different people, so this piece is shared with care for everyone in our community, those who celebrate, those who remember, and those who find the day a little heavier. ♥
We can't wait to attend The Birthday Party with Children's Capital of Culture on Friday. We are so excited that one of our residents will be taking part in the celebrations by reading some of their poetry which they have worked incredibly hard on. We're all behind you! 💚💚 Keep your eyes peeled next week to see how they got on. 👀
We were delighted to welcome Ellie from KCM Waste Management recently to talk about future fundraising ideas and meaningful work opportunities for the people we support. It’s always inspiring to come together as a community and explore how we can create real, lasting impact. We’re proud to have voted for KCM in the Yorkshire Choice Awards. Thank you, Ellie, for your time, your passion, and your commitment to making a difference.
