Ross Care is delighted to announce that we have been named the winner of the Community Engagement Award by the British Healthcare Trades Association. This recognition reflects the fantastic work taking place across our organisation to actively engage with Service Users in their communities and support their wellbeing.
We are delighted to announce that Ross Care is joining forces with sister organisation, Medequip as official shirt sleeve sponsors for Rotherham United Community Trust’s (RUCT) upcoming 100 Miles for 100 Years fundraising challenge.
At Ross Care, we are committed to improving the lives of children and young people who use wheelchairs. As a trusted provider of NHS Wheelchair Services, we understand that mobility is just one part of the journey - true empowerment and inclusion come from community, confidence, and opportunity.
At Ross Care, we are proud to continue our support of Sheffield Universities' Hackcessible event, an innovative initiative dedicated to designing accessible technology solutions. This year, we contributed by donating a standard mobility walker to assist a team in modifying it for a younger person with specific needs.
At Ross Care, we are committed to supporting inclusive initiatives that empower individuals and create lasting community impact. That’s why we are proud to sponsor the Rotherham United Powerchair Football team throughout 2025, providing free maintenance for the powerchairs used by players. This vital support ensures that athletes have safe, reliable, and well-maintained equipment, allowing them to fully engage in the sport they love.
Next week, Operations Manager Kizzy Davis and the team at Lowestoft will be hosting Wellbeing Awareness Week. It is a fantastic initiative designed by Kizzy to highlight the importance of wellbeing for service users and the critical role her team plays in supporting vulnerable individuals they encounter daily.
Kizzy is incredibly proud of how her team adds value through genuine care for service users. Because of this, she devised this initiative to formalise their approach and build on their existing efforts, leading to the creation of Wellbeing Awareness Week.
Throughout the week, the team will engage in talks and discussions aimed at recognising the signs that someone may need support. They’ll also learn about local organisations and resources available to which service users can be directed. To prepare for the week, Kizzy has been building connections with local charities and support organisations to strengthen links and has compiled a comprehensive information pack for her Field Service Engineers.
The 11-page booklet includes guidance from the Fire and Rescue Service, NHS England, and the National Police Chiefs’ Council, as well as details of local food banks and other support networks.
We look forward to hearing how the week unfolds and fully support the action and care being taken by Kizzy and the entire team at Lowestoft. Their dedication to improving the lives of others is inspiring and deeply appreciated.
In April this year, Rotherham United Community Trust and their More Than Football Department launched their brand new Powerchair Football sessions at Rotherham Leisure Complex. With the initial launch being a huge success, since April the sessions have grown and are flourishing.
