220 - Donation towards SCCCC 60th celebrations - Sept 2025
With donation 220 we have made a small contribution towards SCCCC (Sheffield Churches Council for Community Care) as they celebrate 60 years of their service supporting older people experiencing isolation and loneliness.
The work they do to offer a helping hand to older people when they need it most is often life changing. Loneliness can affect both mental and physical health, and the SCCCC volunteers visit vulnerable people in their homes for a friendly chat and a cup of tea. They can step in when people are in hospital, being discharged or are at home, acting as a vital link between the NHS and the community, providing emotional and practical support through a range of free services.
To mark their anniversary, SCCCC is holding an event for over 200 people, many of whom live alone or experience significant loneliness. This will give them the chance to enjoy afternoon tea and live entertainment, and more importantly, a chance to connect, laugh, and feel valued.
We were asked if we could make a contribution to help ensure the event can be offered free for attendees. It isn’t just a party - it’s a powerful opportunity to combat isolation, spark friendships, and celebrate six decades of compassionate community care.
We have sent £150 towards their fundraising and hope everyone has the best of times celebrating this impressive milestone. We know SCCCC does incredible work in the community and we wish them well for the next 60 years!
