About Rush house ltd
Rush House Ltd: Providing Accommodation and Support Services to Young People
Rush House Ltd is a charitable organisation based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, that provides a range of accommodation and support services to young people aged 16-25. The organisation was established with the aim of helping vulnerable young people who are at risk of homelessness or have experienced homelessness in the past.
At Rush House Ltd, we understand that young people face many challenges as they transition into adulthood. Some may come from difficult backgrounds or have experienced trauma, while others may struggle with mental health issues or substance abuse. Whatever their circumstances, we believe that every young person deserves a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive.
Our Accommodation Services
One of the key services we offer at Rush House Ltd is accommodation for young people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We provide a range of options depending on each individual's needs and circumstances.
Our supported housing service offers shared accommodation for up to six residents, with staff available 24/7 to provide support and guidance as needed. This service is designed for young people who require more intensive support due to complex needs such as mental health issues or substance abuse.
We also offer move-on accommodation for those who are ready to live independently but still need some support. This includes self-contained flats and houses where residents can learn independent living skills such as budgeting, cooking and cleaning.
In addition to our housing services, we also provide advice on housing options and help with accessing benefits such as Universal Credit. We work closely with local authorities and other agencies to ensure that our residents receive the best possible support.
Our Support Services
At Rush House Ltd, we recognise that providing accommodation alone is not enough – many young people need additional support in order to achieve their goals and reach their full potential. That's why we offer a range of support services designed to help our residents develop independent living skills, access education and training, and improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Our support services include:
- Independent living skills training: We offer a range of workshops and courses to help young people develop practical skills such as cooking, budgeting, and managing bills.
- Education and training: We work with local colleges and training providers to help our residents access education and vocational training opportunities.
- Employment support: We provide advice on job searching, CV writing, interview skills, and other aspects of finding employment.
- Mental health support: Our staff are trained in mental health first aid and can provide emotional support to residents who are struggling with their mental health. We also offer access to counselling services where appropriate.
- Substance misuse support: For those who need it, we can provide advice on substance misuse issues such as drug or alcohol addiction.
Our Impact
Since our establishment in 1993, Rush House Ltd has helped hundreds of young people in Rotherham to overcome homelessness and achieve their goals. Our approach is based on the belief that every young person has the potential to succeed if given the right support.
We measure our impact through a range of outcomes including:
- Improved independent living skills
- Increased educational attainment
- Accessing employment or volunteering opportunities
- Improved mental health
- Reduced substance misuse
We are proud of the positive impact we have had on the lives of so many young people over the years. However, we know that there is still much work to be done – homelessness among young people remains a significant issue in Rotherham and beyond.
