Help us raise £20,000 for health and wellbeing in Rotherham!

Every person who walks through our doors has a story.

Some are taking their first steps towards becoming healthier. Some are rebuilding their mental wellbeing. Others are looking for friendship, support or simply somewhere they feel they belong.

At Rotherham United Community Trust, our Health & Wellbeing sessions provide safe, welcoming spaces where local people can move more, talk openly, build confidence and connect with others.

For many participants, these sessions have become a vital part of their weekly routine, and, for some, a lifeline when they need it most.

What are we fundraising for?

We want to raise £20,000 to support five Health & Wellbeing sessions that currently receive no dedicated funding:

United in Health

MAN v FAT

Coffee Morning

Walking Group

Andy’s Man Club

These sessions help people become more active, reduce isolation, manage their health, improve their confidence and build lasting friendships.

It costs approximately £5,250 to provide just one weekly, one-hour session for a year. That works out at around £100 per session, with an average of 12 people attending each one.

Reaching our £20,000 target could help us provide nearly four weekly sessions for an entire year, creating hundreds of opportunities for local people to feel healthier, happier and more connected.

Across our wider Health & Wellbeing work, we support an estimated 700–800 individual participants each year. The impact reaches even further, touching their families, friends and the wider community.

Why More Than A Number?

Behind every number is a person, a story and a reason to keep going.

Every attendance, every mile walked, every kilogram lost and every conversation shared represents somebody taking a positive step towards a better future.

Our participants are more than their age, weight, diagnosis or circumstances. They are people rebuilding confidence, improving their health, finding friendships and achieving things they may once have thought were impossible.

Throughout the campaign, we will share and celebrate these stories, helping people across Rotherham explain why they are More Than A Number.

What could your donation help make possible?

£5 – Take the first step: Could help us reach someone looking for a reason to leave the house, become more active or connect with others.

£10 – Make a connection: Could help someone discover a welcoming place where they can meet others and feel that they belong.

£20 – Build confidence: Could help create a supportive space where someone can get active, talk, laugh and take time away from everyday pressures.

£50 – Bring people together: Could contribute almost half the cost of delivering a Health & Wellbeing session.

£100 – Change someone’s week: Could help fund an entire session, giving around 12 people the opportunity to move, connect and feel supported.

£500 – Strengthen a community: Could help us provide approximately five Health & Wellbeing sessions for local people.

Whether you can give £5, £100 or £500, every contribution will bring us closer to our £20,000 target and help these important sessions continue supporting the people who rely on them.

Together, we can keep Rotherham moving, talking and connected.

Because every person is More Than A Number.

Thank you for your support.
