Transport issues affecting healthcare appointments in Rotherham

Report - 22 July 2024

During April 2024, we ran a survey where we asked Rotherham residents to tell us about their experiences of travelling to their healthcare appointments.

We wanted to get a better understanding of how reliable and accessible public transport is for people who use it, as well as the issues facing other transport users.

We have now produced a report from the feedback we received.

Find out what issues have been highlighted and what recommendations we've made for change.

The Rainbow Project Rotherham

The Rainbow Project Rotherham creates safe, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ people across our borough. Between October 2025, Healthwatch Rotherham spent time with the project’s groups and activities, listening to people’s experiences of support, wellbeing, identity, and access to health and care.

What we heard was clear: the Rainbow Project does more than deliver services. It gives people a sense of belonging, connection and confidence. This report shares attendees’ voices, highlights what the project does well, and identifies where more understanding and support are needed.
