We care about Sheffield Carers

2 GoodGymers made their way to help the Sheffield Carers Centre in Sheffield.

Led by Stephen Gilmer

Bee and I rocked up early on Thursday morning to help stuff the Sheffield Carers centre newsletter into envelopes, bundle them together and bag them into postal bags for distribution across Sheffield. Bee managed a couple of hours before heading back to a meeting at work. Completionist that I am, I had to stay until the bitter end. Several THOUSAND envelopes, hundreds of elastic bands and dozens of postal bags later, we were done.

The team, many of whom were regulars, said this task sometimes takes a couple of days, but with our help, it was done in 5 hours.

If anyone is interested in finding out more about Sheffield Carer's Centre or all the events going on for the upcoming Carer's week (10-16 June), more info can be found at https://sheffieldcarers.org.uk
