Youth worker's legacy lives on through a day of sporting fun in Rotherham

Trevor Grossett, who died last summer after a short illness, worked for Rotherham Early Help North and was station manager of community radio station RedRoad FM.

Swinton Brookfield Academy held an activity day for young people in memory of Trevor, who had worked with young people in the area for 24 years.

Amy Woodhead, outreach and engagement coordinator from Rotherham Council, said: “Losing Trevor so suddenly last year was a terrible blow to our team, and to the communities of Rotherham where he worked for over 24 years.

“However, Trevor was a very positive person and was dedicated to supporting children, young people and families.”

She added: “Trevor’s family kindly donated the funds for the Brookfield fun day to go ahead and ensure the children of Swinton had some exciting activities to take part in over the school holidays, whilst receiving a hot meal, too.”

Following his death at 57, Trevor was hailed for his “infectious laugh” and charisma.

He also worked at Kiveton Park Youth Centre, where he was said to have had a “life changing” impact.

A Rotherham Early Help North spokesperson said Trevor was “well known for driving the youth bus and engaging with young people in their communities”, adding: “He will be remembered for his passion and commitment to youth work, his huge personality and his larger than life laugh.”
