Rotherham United Community Trust

RUCT | Mums In Need 💜 At our last home fixture, as part of our International Women’s Day celebrations, we were proud to present Mums In Need with a cheque for £1,000! This donation follows their incredible involvement in our 100 Miles for 100 Years walk back in October 2025, a moment that truly showed the power of community coming together. Mums In Need have been one of our chosen charities, and it’s been a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated and compassionate organisation making a real difference to women and families. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together, and grateful for everything they do!🙌

HEALTH | Supporting people living with dementia through the power of football memories🧠⚽ We are expanding our Memory Club programme across the borough thanks to funding from the Premier League Foundation’s Players’ Fund. The initiative will provide fortnightly sessions, community venues across Rotherham, support for carers, and involvement from players and former Millers, helping people living with dementia reconnect through shared football memories and social connection. With around 3,000 people aged 65+ living with dementia locally, the project aims to reduce isolation, provide clearer guidance for families, and strengthen support alongside the NHS Memory Service.
