This month, The Sheffield 1000 are delighted to donate £1000 to Bloom Sheffield, a beautiful community garden for women and non-binary people.

Bloom Sheffield offers a safe, friendly and inclusive space where people can connect with nature and each other through gardening, therapeutic horticulture, and creative activities. Their free sessions aim to improve mental health and wellbeing, reduce isolation, and share valuable skills — all while nurturing confidence and community.

Our donation will help fund the Winter Wellbeing Programme, running from November through March 2025. Over the colder months, when the garden is less accessible, Bloom continues to support participants with a variety of activities such as floristry, arts and crafts, yoga, meditation, and nature walks in Sheffield and the nearby Peak District.

Last winter, Bloom ran 72 sessions and supported over 300 local people — providing a lifeline of connection, warmth, and creativity during the darker months.

We’re proud to support Bloom Sheffield in continuing this incredible work. By helping people grow together — through nature, creativity, and care — they’re making Sheffield a brighter, more inclusive place for all.
