Rotherham Federation (Rothefed) is community-led and owned by members, who set the organisation’s direction and values. They celebrate diversity, inclusion, and creativity in everything they do and help to build stronger, more capable communities, which empower people to speak up and create their own solutions.
Their skilled staff team and board together have extensive experience of helping communities work. They excel in community development, working with and alongside local people to build community strength, facilitating ways to learn and network with one another to improve the quality of life for all.
A recent example of this is in the support given to their groups to become registered as a food business if they serve food to members.
Recognising not only the importance of compliance and safety, but also what these sessions mean to groups and residents, Rotherfed offered guidance and resources to help these groups register their sessions as well as paying for key members to do their food hygiene certification, ensuring the groups which have breakfast and lunch sessions can continue running these.
Rotherfed has also liaised with Rotherham Council regarding which Neighbourhood Centres needed sinks changing from a single to double, to allow rinsing and food preparation when the main bowl is in use.
Through education, support, and collaboration, Rotherfed and its partners are paving the way for a safer and more resilient community, where every group has the tools and knowledge to thrive.
