CRB Doors Sponsors RUCST Volunteer’s Trip To Africa
Chris Barnes presented Mitch Morton with sponsorship on behalf of CRB Door Repairs. CRB Door Repairs is a commercial partner of Rotherham United FC and has continuously supported the work of both the club and its work in the community.
The sponsorship will provide Mitch the opportunity to travel to Africa this summer along with the other Rotherham United Community Sports Trust volunteers and Africa’s Gift.
Africa’s Gift are working together with the Community Sports Trust to take a team of young volunteers to Africa to work on a school refurbishment and food growing project in a township just outside Cape Town.
The volunteers will also lead sports workshops and sharing their skills with the underprivileged children. The visit will be hugely developmental for those involved and will provide an insight to life in a very tough part of the world.
Jamie Noble, Head of Community Said “I would like to thank Chris for his amazing generosity to supporting our visit to Africa. The trip is an expansion to the work we do in Rotherham and will see 13 young people traveling to South Africa to work in a project supporting the building of a school, delivery of sports activities and the teaching of English.”

The 2018-19 EFL Trust Futsal season kicked off on Wednesday 12th September with fixtures in the North East and South West League Two competitions. Rotherham UniREAD | NCS participants benifit from free bus travel thanks to First South Yorkshire
This summer thousands of young people from across South Yorkshire have benefited from free bus travel when taking part in the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme thanks to First South Yorkshire.
The two to four-week NCS programme, which is open to all 16 and 17-year-olds across the country, consists of four phases; the first phase involves outdoor team-building exercises and the second phase is a residential for participants to learn ‘life skills’. The third phase is spent putting all these new skills into practice when the teens plan and carry out a social action project. Bus travel is an integral part of young people’s lives and thanks to our partnership with First South Yorkshire we have been able to offer free travel for the young people carrying out their community projects over the past two years.
The partnership between First South Yorkshire and EFL Trust has been ongoing since 2016 and has already had a positive impact on young people and their ability to give back to the community. In South Yorkshire, NCS has been delivered by several football clubs including Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United and Doncaster Rovers.
When asked about the benefits the free mTicket has provided, Yasmin Aziz, who took part in the NCS programme in Rotherham, said: “I can travel with my friends, which makes the social action project a lot more social and my parents don’t have to pay for fuel anymore. I don’t see why anyone in our generation wouldn’t use the mTickets app, it’s just so convenient and we all live on our phones anyway!”
Charlotte Dinsdale, NCS Programme Manager, at EFL Trust: “We are delighted to be able to continue our partnership with First South Yorkshire. This year has been a huge success and allowed for young people taking part in NCS to travel across South Yorkshire and supported over 100,000 hours of social action in local communities. Not only do the tickets allow the young people to deliver a social action project in their local community, but it also gives them independence and boosts their confidence to use public transport which is integral for teenagers.”
Cameron Boulding, summer 2018 NCS participant from Rotherham, added: “We get to travel with our friends, so if we’re not sure where we’re going, we have more confidence. There’s less pressure to have money ready [for the driver] as you have the ticket ready on your phone. I’d be more likely to use transport now, as it’s boosted my confidence, so it’s not as scary to get on a bus.”
Allan Riggall, Head of Commercial at First South Yorkshire, said: “First South Yorkshire is extremely pleased with the positive impact that working with NCS has had on young people throughout the summer in Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster. The partnership has allowed young people still in education to travel safely, conveniently and free, to the activities. By using our network, young people can benefit from unlimited bus travel, for just £7 per week on the mTickets app. We look forward to our continued involvement with NCS in the future.”
