Unleash your inner creativity

Are you interested in photography, video, writing or journalism? We’re looking for volunteers to help us co-create a toolkit that will be sent to seven thousand homes in the Burngreave Ward.

The toolkit will help people understand what triggers loneliness in themselves and others and inspire people to take action. For volunteers, it’ll be a great opportunity to be trained in a media role and find out more about the area and its people.

We’re looking for people of all ages and backgrounds – no experience necessary! You just need a bit of time, and the enthusiasm to make a difference.

The Burngreave Ward, which includes the Firvale, Burngreave and the Shirecliffe neighbourhoods, is the most diverse area of Sheffield.

62% of people who live there are from an ethnic minority background, the largest of which are of a Pakistani origin, with Somali and Yemenis also living in the ward.
Research has shown that people from a minority background who are age over 50, are more at risk of social isolation.

If you’d like to find out more contact Nasreen Suleman by calling 0114 2702 651 or by emailing n.suleman@syha.co.uk.
