Richard Huish College launches new Charity with pump prime funding from the Rotary Club of Taunton


The Rotary Club of Taunton has recently provided £600 to the ROAR Trust, a new charity that has been set up at Richard Huish College to educate and support young people involved in physical activity to live mentally healthy lives. Recently the organisations came together at the college so that the Rotary Club of Taunton could present representatives from The Roar Trust with a cheque which will spark activity for the charity and allow them to build some momentum.

 

Matt Nolan, Trustee of The Roar Trust and Director of Student Services at Huish said “We are very appreciative of the funding support and really energised by the conversations we are having with Rotary, exploring numerous ways in which we can collaborate to have a positive impact on the local community.”

The Roar Trust is going to work with young people who are involved in sport to equip them with the knowledge, understanding and resources to manage their mental health alongside their physical health. As part of a structured programme, the Roar Trust will run a series of workshops for young people. The workshops will focus on what is mental health, how to recognise poor mental health, and where and what support is available. These workshops will be interactive and aimed at preventing young people from going into crisis and requiring any emergency support. The Roar Trust has real potential to have a positive impact on many lives.

The Rotary Club of Taunton was pleased to provide some initial pump priming funds to support the charity and will continue to work closely with the charity, and Richard Huish College.
