Hello everyone,

Recently we were able to donate £1000 to the High Green Development Trust. This amazing organisation exists to benefit, support and empower the local community of High Green and the surrounding areas of Sheffield. The Trust manages The Campus an inclusive community centre and business hub where people come to meet others, play sport and take part in other leisure activities as well as to learn and to do business. In addition, the Trust supports activities out and about in the local area partnering with schools, churches, charities, local businesses and community groups.

The Trust is run by both staff and volunteers including those in the photo (from left to right): Lauren, Community Engagement Manager; Chamila, Finance Manager; Helen, Community Engagement Supervisor.

The Trust will use the donation to help create a new Community Corner – a space from which they can seek to tackle issues such as social isolation, and mental health problems. The space will have several functions, serving as: a family hub; a workshop and creative space where people will be invited to come together to make and bake; a space which will house public access computers; a library; a quiet space and a reception and team room.

Thank you so much for your continued support and your commitment to supporting charities and good causes in Sheffield. We are planning to donate to several more organisations in the run up to Christmas, so please watch this space…

Thanks as always,

Dan and The Sheffield 1000 Team
