Our projects

With 1 in 5 refugees experiencing mental health problems whilst in UK hotels, Coopah Running has launched the Coopah's Refugee Run Club CIC to help bring refugees together into a running community to help combat mental health, supporting Refugees through some of life’s toughest experiences.

We at The RUSA Foundation believe in helping those disadvantaged and have partnered with Coopah, assisting with running kits for 300 refugees our Founders Ross Lazaroo-Hood and Sitki Gelmen look forward in continuing with this initiative working with Pete Cooper plus his team.

The Founders of The RUSA Foundation, 

Ross Lazaroo-Hood & Sitki Gelmen met the team at Monkstown Boxing Club.  

Thank you for allowing them to visit & see your hard work plus projects. The Founders have made a sizeable donation to assist with the 'Monkstown 2 Mthatha' South Africa Project .

We look forward to future partnership work.

At The RUSA Foundation we are delighted to announce our partnership with White Ribbon NI. We are looking forward to working together to challenge the attitudes and beliefs which lead to violence against women and girls.

We can also confirm our charity has made a significant donation to the great work the team at White Ribbon are doing.

Tahnee McCorry from White Ribbon said, " I am so thankful for this kind and generous donation to help support our workshops for young people. I am also delighted we have the opportunity to work with the The RUSA foundation and am confident that what we achieve together will help influence real change.

Through awareness raising and education White Ribbon NI seeks to end violence against women. We believe giving young people the information, they need about healthy relationships is a step we can all take towards being part of the solution .

Together with The RUSA foundation we have identified an important mutual goal - to help EVERY young person realise they have the power to change our society for the better..”

Ross Lazaroo-Hood, Founder & Co-Chairman of The RUSA Foundation said, “We are very proud for our families charity to partner with White Ribbon NI and introduce our Trustees plus members to the campaign. Our upcoming joint projects will have an impact on many. I am delighted to have signed the white ribbon pledge with Sitki Gelmen, joining so many others who also have put their name to pledge transparency to this Meaningful campaign.”

Said “ I am also very happy that our families charity has partnered with White Ribbon. We all have the opportunity to make a change, change takes time and we want to be part of this journey. We are excited about developing projects together that will build knowledge and provide further platforms to assist those in need. A special thank you to Tahnee and the Board for working with us.”

The Founders, Ross Lazaroo-Hood and Sitki Gelmen, of The RUSA Foundation have signed the white ribbon pledge - the pledge to never commit , condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls.

Landmark Holding Group partnered with The RUSA Foundation and are delighted to have donated 10 new laptops, Sitki Gelmen seen here delivering these Laptops. Calling all MGA’s and insurance intermediaries to support their initiative to sponsor and provide new/old Laptops or providing money to purchase Laptops for all under privileged children for home schooling within London Boroughs and throughout the whole of the four nations within the U.K..

. 

Acknowledging that there is now even more uncertainty for our young people the Executive Board at Landmark Holding Group and the Trustees of The RUSA Foundation are working with the Cities of London and Westminster MP Nickie Aiken, The Department of Children’s Services, City of London and Larne Football Club to provide laptops for the most disadvantaged. 

This initiative will help children keep up with their school work, enable them to continue their learning and education at home. Education and access to learning is vital for children to have the opportunity to reach their potential. 

We would welcome the larger insurance community as a whole to join us and build momentum to provide this small item, which will bring such a big impact to the few and the many. 

As to coordinate with the insurance market and so we can manage the interest and the supply of laptops to be delivered please contact Sitki Gelmen, Ross Lazaroo-Hood and The RUSA Foundation by emailing: hello@rusafoundation.com

The RUSA Foundation are happy to discuss on any other initiatives that will provide for those in need. “
