How to get involved

Want to help us make a difference?

Our work across Rotherham is made possible through the trust and investment of our funders and commissioning partners. You can be part of that investment through our partnerships programme.

Your support enables us to keep advice free and independent, deliver services in the community and health settings, reach people who might otherwise struggle to access support, and respond flexibly to emerging local needs.

In return you get acredited training for your team or quality assured advice for your workforce or service users.

Together, we are helping ensure that no one has to face life’s challenges alone.

Take the first step

Let’s make it happen

Through partnership programmes, organisations can support the delivery of practical guidance and early advice interventions for their staff, clients, or beneficiaries.

These programmes focus on common issues such as debt, benefits, and the cost of living.

We’re always open to new ideas and ways to work together. If you want to support the community in a way that suits your mission, let’s have a conversation!
