Andy Burnham is absolutely right to keep homelessness high on the public agenda and to challenge us all to do more to end it. But if we are serious about tackling homelessness, we must recognise that it is about far more than rough sleeping. The biggest challenge in places like Rotherham is often hidden homelessness. Like thousands of people in the UK, in Rotherham people are sofa surfing, living in insecure accommodation, facing eviction, or struggling behind closed doors without ever appearing in official figures. These are the people we too often fail to see until a crisis occurs. That is why prevention must be at the heart of our response. At Rush House Limited , we see every day how early intervention changes lives. Through our APOYO training programme, completed by more than 600 people each year in Rotherham, we help build understanding, confidence and skills that prepare them for managing a tenancy. We also need to rethink the language and culture around what we provide. People do not wake up wanting a "service". They want support. They want trusted relationships, practical help, someone who listens, and someone who understands their situation without judgement. Ending homelessness is not simply about managing emergencies. It is about creating the conditions that stop people becoming homeless in the first place, giving them choices, and ensuring that when they need help, they are met with compassion, understanding and meaningful support. Let's continue the conversation, but let's make sure it includes those experiencing hidden homelessness and the preventative work that is so often overlooked. Talk to the local independent charities that are out there every day on the front line as well as the big nationals who also do fantastic work on a national scale. #EndHomelessness #HiddenHomelessness #PreventionMatters #Rotherham #APOYO #HousingSupport #CommunitySupport
⚽ A New Era for Rotherham United Women ⚽ On Tuesday, our Employment Coach and Communications & Marketing Officer had the pleasure of attending the Rotherham United Women Football Club event to hear all about the club's exciting new era. It was fantastic to hear from the team, players and owners during an open and honest Q&A session, which gave a real insight into the vision and ambition for the future of the club. What stood out most to us was the commitment to supporting the local community and working alongside organisations and charities across Rotherham. As a local charity ourselves, it was inspiring to hear how community impact remains at the heart of their plans. We were also treated to some pie and peas, which was a very welcome addition to the evening! 🥧 We're excited to follow their journey and hope to get down to a game soon to cheer the team on. Let's get behind the ladies and show our support this season. We encourage everyone to attend a match and help create a fantastic atmosphere for the team. ⚽ Rotherham Day #RotherhamUnitedWomen #NewEra #Community #Rotherham #SupportLocalSport

📚⛑️ This week, we were pleased to welcome Liam from Marvel Training Ltd to deliver a Paediatric First Aid Course for our participants. The training provided valuable knowledge and practical skills that could make a real difference in emergency situations. The course was particularly beneficial for one of our Pathways to Work clients, who is currently studying for their Teaching Assistant qualification and hopes to secure a role within a school. Gaining a recognised first aid certificate is a fantastic addition to their CV and an important step towards achieving their career goals. A huge thank you to Liam for delivering such an engaging and informative session. Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council
What a fantastic activity day at Swinton Lock Activity Centre ! Our young people had a wonderful time getting involved, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and making new connections. A highlight of the day was a relaxing barge trip down the canal, giving everyone the chance to unwind, take in the scenery and enjoy some great company. With amazing weather, lots of smiles and plenty of positive experiences, it was a brilliant day all round! #ActivityDay #SwintonLock #MakingMemories #NewExperiences #YoungPeople #CanalTrip #GreatCompany #OutdoorActivities
