Sheffield charity Roundabout are selling 1,800 steel roses as part of their Mother\u2019s Day fundraising campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charity began in 1977, and offers support to young people aged 16-25 who are currently homeless, at risk of homelessness, or care leavers. They support over 380 young people every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are based primarily in Sheffield and Rotherham, and are able to offer a wide variety of support avenues, depending on the position a young person comes to them in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes individual or group housing , employment and education opportunities, and mental health support. All of their support is designed to restore young people’s confidence and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the build-up to Mother\u2019s Day, the charity announced they would be selling 1,800 roses, one for each young person they\u2019ve helped since the start of the cost-of-living crisis in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy Fantom, who has been fundraising with Roundabout for three years, said: \u201cWe wanted something that was going to represent each and every one of our young people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe rose symbolises coming to bloom and growing, and the steel aspect ties in with Sheffield. I think it\u2019s super unique to Sheffield and it fits in perfectly.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roses come in two formats – mild and stainless steel, with an option to add a personalised engraving to commemorate someone special in your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Fantom added: \u201cMother\u2019s Day is a great way for us to get our roses out there, they\u2019re genuinely really nice gifts, and the cause makes it even better.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They will be displayed in an exhibition at Sheffield Cathedral, after which they will be released for collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charity has done a variety of Mother\u2019s Day campaigns in the past, such as digital fundraising, as well as attending volunteer fairs and networking events in and around Sheffield.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Fantom said: \u201cWe want to build relationships with the people who can help our people. We\u2019re always doing something to spread that awareness.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
