Description
Fleming Gardens in Rotherham, has been providing housing, parenting, relationship and life skills
training for young women and their children since 2004. The Fleming Gardens service is commissioned
by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and delivered by YWCA Yorkshire. It includes 20 houses,
ten within a cul-de-sac location in Bramley, and ten dispersed throughout the local area. As well as
accommodation and wrap-around support to these households, the expert team of Project Workers
deliver support and training to a further 27 young women and families across the Rotherham area.
Our work with young families typically includes budgeting, emotional well-being, parenting skills, the
elimination of anti-social behaviour, neighbour disputes, and access to education and training for
both parents and children.
YWCA Yorkshire has developed a number of specialist programmes to assist young women, children and
families to address some of the key barriers to living happy, fulfilled and independent lives. We believe in
giving back to the local community, and accept external referrals onto some of our programmes.
