18 excellent @ggsheff runners ran 3km to help the CATHEDRAL ARCHER PROJECT tidy up their community garden.
After hearing about the teams efforts on Sundays run at DIG DEEP we set off into town taking on a few obstacles on route to the CATHERDRAL ARCHER PROJECT.
On arrival LOVELY LYNN welcomed us with cold bottled water and a brief about the project and the tasks for the eve which included a lot of cutting back of overgrown plants. The aim is to be able to use the garden as an activity for the project and its users who will hopefully take ownership of the garden.
After a good 45mins of hacking away the area looked a lot clearer and ready to be used once again. Lynn gave us a lovely thank you before we headed back off into the city for the fitness session.
This week we took advantage of the cities structures and landscape and focussed on some stair sets, box jumps and a killer hill rep session to finish off before heading into the SHOWROOM for a well earnt drink and natter.
Until next time.
HAPPY RUNNING
We are a day centre based at the back of the Sheffield Cathedral that supports homeless and vulnerable people in Sheffield. We believe that every person through our doors is an individual and that support should be given free of judgement. We usually see approximately 60 people a day. The way we help can usually be broken down into 3 separate categories. Crisis Support – meeting immediate needs such as providing two meals a day in the project and food parcels for tea, use of our showers, telephone and computers and emergency clothing such as socks and pants. Health and Wellbeing Support. This can range from hosting visiting practice nurses and dentists in our fully equipped medical room to arranging activities such as football, running music and art. Moving On Support. We aim to provide people with both the skills and confidence to move away from life on the street. We’re here until people feel comfortable without us, and there’s always an option to come back if things aren’t going well.
