What young people in Rotherham told us about their wellbeing in 2025
Between April 2024 and March 2025, we have attended 12 student events, engaging with 445 young people across Rotherham to find out what matters to them, what challenges they face and to identify what services can do to help support them with their wellbeing.
We gathered feedback from young people through:
- Attending college wellbeing events
- Organising and delivering Let's Talk information sessions
- Regular engagement with schools
- Small focus groups
- Questionnaires
We also worked with SEND students around Rotherham council's 5 Ways to Wellbeing work, running a workshop and carrying out surveys.
From the feedback gathered, our report identifies 5 main themes:
- Wellbeing is important to young people
- Good relationships with others is key
- Young people face multiple pressures
- Sleep is an issue
- Young people don't know enough about services
