Hello!

Last week Paul Gosney, a good friend of the charity, was able to visit The Family Works to present them with their cheque for £1000. He is pictured here with Andrea Liversidge the charity’s CEO.

The Family Works is a trauma informed family support project walking alongside famililes who need their support. They equip local volunteers to support families in their communities, families who may be isolated, lonely, vulnerable or struggling to cope. They provide support through relation-based services working to see the tide of family breakdown turn, to see children who are loved and cared for prosper and family relationships that are constructive instead of destructive and damaging.

The support given by The Sheffield 1000 will be invaluable and has come at exactly the right time when key resources are running low on funding. Our donation will help support their volunteers and staff on the front lines, enabling them to provide a lifeline for families. Our support will help The Family Works to provide the necessary training, resources and support systems for all – making sure everyone’s wellbeing is invested in and fostering a real sense of community and value.

The Family Voice wants to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed by donating their £1 a week – your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives that they touch week by week.

And so thank you again for your continued support and commitment to supporting charities and good causes in Sheffield. We are planning several visits to other charities at the moment and we will keep you updated as we continue to give to the organisations you have nominated.

Thanks as always,

Dan and The Sheffield 1000 Team
