We wanted to say a huge thank you to KCM Waste Management for their generous donation of a skip at Fleming Gardens in Rotherham👏

This donation has assisted the preparation of various properties by getting them ready for new tenancies. It has also made such a difference by helping us to clear out storage spaces making way for furniture and essentials for those we support🏠

We are so grateful for the relationships we have built within our communities that assist us in our mission to create better futures for women, children and families here in South Yorkshire💜💚

The last few months have been very exciting here at YWCA Yorkshire and we are thrilled to welcome Bethany Burley as our new Communications Officer.

Beth joins us with a wealth of knowledge in communications and brings with her valuable experience working across a variety of health and care research projects.

We’d like to thank Treo Recruitment for working with us so closely over recent months and for understanding our core values to assist us in finding compassionate, inclusive and expert people👏

Our mission is to create a better future for women, children and families here in South Yorkshire and to achieve this we need to work with people who care about communities, are passionate about positive social change, and who will excel in a team with a shared purpose💜💚

We're super proud of our people and our culture and we are thankful to our networks for helping us grow our amazing team.

Our storage unit is shaping up nicely, and we now have some racking to help store more items! Thank you to Hillsborough for connecting us to another storage unit holder who has kindly donated this to us.

This space allows us to store donated furniture and essentials ready for families moving on from our services into safe, stable homes🏠

We are looking for some corporate volunteers to assist us in organising and logging what we currently have to enable us to continue providing our families with the essentials they need 💜💚

If you want to get involved, drop us a message or email our Fundraising Manager, Sophie on [email protected]
