Report written by Celine (she/her or they/them)
On a hot muggy evenings, 6 stoic GoodGymmers met with Brilliant Ben from Roundabout to spread the word about the upcoming fundraiser for this vital charity: Roundabout is South Yorkshire’s local youth homeless charity providing shelter, support and life skills to young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
And back to the fundraiser that we were promoting: the Yorkshire Chocolate Festival is back in Sheffield on Saturday 19th October! Well worth shouting out about!
So, armed with wooden spoons - or former bamboo toothbrushes - the dauntless 6 split into 2 teams to cover the "Groves" and the "Botanical" streets; we braved the hills, the heat and the vicious postboxes and after one hour we had delivered flyers on no less than 11 streets. Way to go team!
We'll finish spreading the word and chocolate love on 9th September - sign up now!
Every day Roundabout supports over 250 young people living in accommodation either provided by or supported by our charity. We have a new hostel and provide four key services delivering comprehensive programmes of training, involvement and empowerment which help to break the cycle of homelessness and develop long term independent living skills.
