The Club continue to support Winn Gardens, an economically challenged and very diverse estate in Sheffield, which houses many asylum seekers and women escaping domestic violence. A Club member is active as a community champion at the estate and the community pioneer spoke to Club members at one of our meetings. The cost of living crisis has exacerbated the level of poverty and deprivation experienced by the residents of Winn Gardens. Project Aim: to tackle food and fuel poverty in one of Sheffield&#8217;s most deprived estates, and educate families with regard to healthy living. The Club have continued to provide slow cookers, the most fuel economic way of cooking, to resident families, alongside recipe cards (developed by Sixth Form Girls as part of our &#8220;Share Our Skills&#8221; project) and one of the members delivered regular cookery lessons to educate the residents on nutritious and economic meals. Members also sourced and provided cookery equipment, food, clothes and household items which were delivered on a regular basis. They also provided the funding for community events and children&#8217;s parties. Members also helped with lunches during the school holidays (for children eligible for free school meals) and, with their partner Tesco, they provided back-to-school shirts for every child on the estate. <\/p>\n<p>One of the members trained as a community champion and now supports the estate for at least five hours per week as a volunteer, for 50 weeks. It involves all Club members as well as external partners helping women to start a new life. Several members collect donations and make regular deliveries, two hours a week on average. The project supported on a weekly basis at least 40 large families (i.e. more than five family members), 60 small families, as well as 60 other individuals, including men and boys. The Sustainable Development Goals achieved were SDG 1 No poverty and SDG 3 Ensure healthy lives. The Club is proud of this project because it empowers women to take care of themselves and children by enabling them to cook nutritious, economic and healthy meals through cookery classes. <\/p>\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 21px\"><strong>Food Bank and Children\u2019s Clubs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Winn Gardens is in the top 20% deprived neighbourhoods in the UK and for various reasons it is difficult to engage families, children and young people in positive activities. It is a diverse and multicultural estate, which has around 18 different ethnicities represented, including families of black African, black Caribbean, Chinese, asian, Slovakian gypsy, eastern European and Indian ethnic heritage.<\/p>\n<p>There is a foodbank which also has clothing, household items, toys and refreshments on offer. The children\u2019s clubs take place in the holidays and see sessions ranging from computer programmes to poetry, multi sports and origami. The children are provided a packed lunch at each session.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;Box&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 18px\"><strong>11\/08\/23 New School Shirts for Winn Gardens Children<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4px&#8221;][vc_column_text]We have; with the addition of a generous donation from Tesco;\u00c2\u00a0 been able to give shirts and blouses to school children from Winn Gardens who were delighted.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Tesco for all the support and Suzanne for distributing gifts[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/sheffield\/shirts-at-winn-gardens\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6245\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6245\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/sheffield\/files\/2023\/08\/Shirts-at-Winn-Gardens.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]=====[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheffield Soroptimists were finalists for an International award at the Edinburgh conference.
