We’re delighted to share that The Sheffield 1000 has donated £1,000 to Grimm & Co, a wonderful charity right here in our region that is changing children’s lives through the magic of storytelling.

Grimm & Co harnesses the joyful discovery of stories to support children with their socio-cultural literacies – helping them to understand the world around them, build confidence, resilience, and aspirations, and create positive narratives for their own futures. They work especially with communities experiencing poverty, disadvantage, and discrimination, making their impact even more vital.

Our donation will enable Grimm & Co to deliver and resource six creative workshops with 12 children, where together they’ll produce a story activity to share with others. Through these workshops, children will not only discover the fun of creating and sharing stories but also develop vital communication skills, confidence, and self-esteem.

This donation is only possible because of the incredible people of Sheffield who are part of The Sheffield 1000. Every member gives just £1 per week, and together those small, regular gifts add up to make a huge difference for charities across the city.
To all our members: thank you. Your generosity has helped bring the magic of stories to children who need it most.

Together, we are building a stronger, kinder Sheffield – one pound at a time.
