We are ONE!

Last night we turned one year old! A huge thanks to all that have been involved with @GGSheff to make it what it is today a really great bunch of people from all sorts of backgrounds and running abilities that have come together to do good in their community and to get fitter. You are all truely a fantastic bunch!

Following a brief inside photo now the clocks have changed we set off to a brand new task in Kelham Island with In2Change a fantastic organisation that work with young offenders to avoid repeat offending and provide users with skills and education at the centre.

On arriving at In2Change we were greeted by MAGIC MARC & BRILLIANT BRIAN who gave us a tour of the building and the project and got us tooled up for the nights task.

As the planned paint job had already taken place we went for plan B which involved some painting of doors and some cleaning of the gym which needed some love to bring it back to sparkling splendor.

Both Brian and Marc were very happy with the efforts of the group and thanked all before we headed off to Craft & Dough for our anniversary celebrations where we were surprised with some generous Prosecco from 'THE KING' Steph Gilmer in his abscence and some fantastic GG cupcakes from chief organiser of the meal Kim Longbon. Thanks to both for your extra efforts and to all that attended for coming together to celebrate @GGSheff becoming one!

Here's to another fantastic year!

In2Change South Yorkshire Ltd is a limited company by guarantee and charity registered in England and Wales. It was set up as a nonprofit organisation in December 2006, becoming a registered charity in February 2007 (1117814) and making the transition to a Limited Company by guarantee in April 2010. The aim is to expand and complement existing community-based projects, by offering advocacy and resettlement support back into the community. Our aims are: To address criminality amongst young people aged 10-25. To support young people back into mainstream education. To provide an alternative curriculum provision for schools and inclusion centres. To raise the attainment and aspiration of young people, improving skills in support of the transformation of our local economy. To build strong and trusting relationships with local partners. To assist with the rehabilitation and resettlement of offenders. In addition to our charitable objectives, we want to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of the people in our community and identify any new challenges to help us provide a service that is valued. To help In2Change achieve our aims we are currently in the process of regenerating our new centre of excellence, Rutland Hall, based in Neepsend, Sheffield. Within the centre we aim to offer a wide range of facilities, including classrooms, a hair salon, gym, boxing arena, IT suite, community café and music studio.
