Rotherham United Community Trust

We were dreaming of weather like this as we joined the trust this week.

Unfortunately it was persistent rain and there were flooded roads all around, but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm from the young people we worked with.

We explored the building blocks of Music through looking at rhythm and language as we noticed the difference between English, Nigerian and Romanian inflections.

Rhythm is closely connected to language development and is reflected in the way music is created in different areas of the world. Music which is local to the country of origin tends to adopt the rhythms of the language of the country.

It is our pleasure to play a part in the health and development of young people in Rotherham.

Thanks again to Jonathan Allen for inviting us to return.

Go Swimstars

It was our first visit to Go Swimstars last week. They work from several venues and specialise in swimming coaching.

Supporting young people on the winter HAF programme, it was good to meet new faces and re connect with some that we had worked with before.

We were joined by one of our volunteers Denis, who we first met as an attendee at one of our sessions around 3 years ago. He is now gaining valuable knowledge and experience to support his college education.

He has ambitions of going on to further education and it is a privilege for us to share his journey.

Thanks to Sue for inviting us, and her staff for giving us a warm welcome.
