Youth of Rochester

Official Release: Situation Report

Over the past few years, Rochester's young people have faced incredible challenges, from devastating floods to ongoing recovery efforts. Their voices, experiences, and needs are at the heart of the newly released Youth of Rochester: A Voice in Flood and Recovery situation report.

This important document highlights the impact of recurring floods on our students, their education, and their wellbeing, while also offering recommendations for long-term support. It ensures that their voices are heard by policymakers, schools, and the wider community as we work towards a stronger, more resilient future.

We encourage all parents, carers, and community members to read the report and stand with our youth in their recovery journey. Together we can create lasting change.

Books are available from RSC, Rochester Community House and the Rochester Newsagency.
