Recycling Lives has been awarded the latest Rotherham Taylor Community Fund grant, following a strong response to the scheme’s relaunch in 2025.
Rotherham Taylor, an established accountancy firm, invited local groups and charities to apply for a grant to support their work in the community.
The initiative has previously supported organisations including Teamkickabout, Preston Boxing Club, Cadley’s Under-7s football team, New Day Church Food Bank and All Saints’ Primary School.
After carefully reviewing this year’s applications, the team landed on Recycling Lives as its winner.
Recycling Lives is a charity that supports people through offender rehabilitation, residential services and food distribution.
The organisation runs a weekly soup kitchen from Crossgate Church, known as “Supper’s Up”, providing hot meals to more than 100 people every Wednesday.
Chloe Greenbank and Rebecca Bradshaw, Directors at Rotherham Taylor, presented a £500 cheque to Neil Flanagan from Recycling Lives, which will be used to buy food for the soup kitchen.
Neil shared his gratitude for the firm’s contribution to the cause.
“We want to thank the Rotherham Taylor team for their generous donation. The support directly helps us continue our work, changing lives and supporting people in our communities. Acts of kindness like theirs make a real difference, and we are truly grateful,” said Neil.
Chloe Greenbank explained the motivation behind the team’s backing of Recycling Lives.
“We first launched this fund in 2019 to help groups that make a real difference on the ground in our community.
“Recycling Lives stood out for the scale of what they provide each week and the impact it has locally. We are pleased to be able to support their soup kitchen and the people who depend on it.”
Rotherham Taylor intends to continue to support the community in 2026 through charitable initiatives. The firm will announce its chosen charity of the year partner in the coming weeks, so make sure to keep an eye out for updates.
