Rotherham United Community Sports Trust (RUCST) are aiming to crowdfund £50,000.00 to help fund the purchase of fantastic community facility in the heart of one of the most challenging areas of Rotherham
The venue will give the trust access to a state of the art building as well as an outdoor facility which will enable an extension to our educational and health provision as well as enabling the Trust to build on our inclusion work to offer more activities to the people of Rotherham as a whole.
A significant proportion of our income is spent on external facilities and as we work with some of the most deprived and poorest residents of the town, without additional support we are unable to offer the projects which have such a high impact on our participants. By having our own facility it means we are able to generate new income streams and use own own resources to deliver the projects and services at a much reduced or free rate.
